Elgato releases new EyeTV Diversity DTT tuner

Got mine today. WIth the pair of supplied aerials I get 100% signal quality and 60% strength. The single DTT stick used to get 25% strength. I get loads and loads of channels but then I live close to a transmitter.

But the remote control is utterly useless, it either doesn't work or works very erratically. It's not the remote itself my keyspan reacts to it everytime a button is pressed but the receiver on the Diversity just doesn't see it.

I have one and would like a refund. It’s a very poor performing unit RF wise I have a 48 element antenna that works fine with a cheap £30 Dtv unit. The Remote is intermittent. And the picture jumps. And it only has a 30% signal compared to the 80% I get on my cheap unit. I have G5 and a I book both perform poorly with this unit.

Seen in London at Mac Expo

You can't use it on the USA.

Also Terratec has one of these Diversity tuner... it was presented as fully functional device at Apple Expo Paris

"more better channels"?

Will this work in the US on digital terrestrial broadcasts?

Stephen,

It may have been announced a month ago, it is only recently available for purchase.

It's used with the EyeTV software, which does integrate (sort of) with Front Row/Apple Remote. I have the predecessor to this model and use it with a Mac Mini as a media centre.

Umm. This was released last month, look here:

comments on it are that it is great to have two tuners that work well indoors and with Freeview. Apparently you can use this thing in a car at 160 km/h! I also noticed that this strangely enough doesn't have Front Row/ Apple Remote integration.

DTT is not a standard, its an acronym that is just used to encompass other standards, namely DVB-T in most of Europe at least. DVB-T has been around for years, and has been widely used in the UK since 2002 as 'freeview' and before that on pay TV.

As such you cannot say DTT is a new standard, as it isn't a standard nor is it new. DVB-T is a standard, but it isn't new.

You could have found this out if you'd actually read the Wikipedia article you link to.
