MacTalk - Review: Elgato EyeTV Netstream DTT

I love the idea of watching TV on my Mac but I hate USB dongles. I hate making sure I have them with me, plugging them in when I want to watch TV and having them stick out of my Mac waiting to be damaged. So when I was given the Elgato EyeTV Netstream DTT to review I thought that this may be the answer to all my problems. The Netstream is a Twin HD TV tuner that sits on your network allowing you to stream TV to your PCs without the need for any USB dongles. It also comes with the EyeTV software allowing you to schedule and record TV. The software will also convert recordings for iPod, Apple TV and Toast for burning.

Hopefully someone has a useful solution to my problem. I have yet to see anything on the forums here. Currently, I have my iTunes library on a USB drive that is hooked up to my Airport Extreme, which is hooked up directly to my Broadband Internet, as well as to my Mac Pro through Ethernet. It also serves my two laptops. I do it this way mainly because I don't want to have my desktop always on or have to go turn it on to watch TV Shows or listen to music through my Apple TV.

Dear Aunt TUAW: Apple TV and oddball video formats

Hey Auntie TUAW, I just ordered my new Apple TV, and have a ton of footage in MKV, AVI, etc. which probably won't work with iTunes , let alone my Apple TV . What can I do to batch convert and import all my movies to iTunes, which will work with Apple TV and be as high-rez as possible? With all my love, Ari Dear Ari, http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/07/dear-aunt-tuaw-apple-tv-and-oddball-video-formats/

Staying out of the red isn't just about spending less than you earn, though that's a good principle to start from. To keep on the right side of an overdraft you need a grasp of what you've spent recently, a plan for what you intend to spend in the near future and a watchful eye to make sure that errors and fraud aren't siphoning off cash. That's exactly the sort of job that your Mac can help with and there's a wide range of software available to do this. We've chosen a selection of six, each of which brings a slightly different emphasis to the financial task.
