Elgato EyeTV

what outputs are you wanting to record from on your devices? the EyeTV devices will capture HD DVB-T, but the way you'll have to hook up your ziggo would be SD I think. & I also don't think you'll be able to schedule like you can the braodcast content, it's a more manual process as in you have to be there to push the record button...

you might need 2 devices. a tuner & input device that supports HD. on the macbook, the blackmagic device is your only option for HD. there isn't an HDMI input card for you unless you buy a Mac Pro. for the tuner, make sure it supports the broadcast in your country. I have the elgato hybrid but interested in picking up a Tube Stick: http://www.equinux.com/us/products/tubestick/tuningmap.html

are you getting HD res on the cable connection? is there a pic of this cable, i mean, is it something that would connect to an EyeTV hybrid.

i'm having a hard time finding info on that box that's in english.

thanks! huge help!

Not much connections (21th century), as you can see.

sorry, I wish providers wouldn't be so restrictive or soo worried about piracy...

Perhaps it could work by connecting Elgato EyeTV with an adapter to the scart.

your box is new enough, so adapters should work. Don't know who sells or what's available in your area, but I did find this pg: http://www.hdtvsupply.com/sctoco.html

Maybe stupid....Could it work if I connect some device to my tv set? I got a brand new TV with most connections. Are there devices that can be connected to (for instance) a HDMI connection and make the MacBook work as a HD recorder?

the problem is that if the tv has output at all, it's only going to be SD. HDMI input on the mac isn't possible unless you have a Mac Pro, the PCIe HDMI card & the content isn't copy protected. with the worries over people recording & then posting the stuff online, capability of recording your content in this matter is difficult.

if you want to record HD, you'll have to find an SCART to Component (RGB) converter & the Black Magic Design USB device which will input the signal. the elgato devices only do Svideo & composite input.
