Miglia introduces TVMini Express

About a week ago, we posted about the budget Equinux digital TV tuner. Now Miglia joins the low-end price club having announced its TVMini Express. Like Equinux, this USB unit provides over-the-air digital TV tuning and costs only $69 (£40, €50) while the Equinux, to compare, costs €40. You get a tuner, a portable antenna, a USB 2.0 cable to connect to the computer and a CD-ROM with "software"--until recently, Miglia shipped EyeTV with their tuners but as we recently posted, they did not renew their EyeTV license.

The TVMini Express should be available for purchase towards the end of this month.

Miglia TVMax+ "Content Collection Hub"

Miglia is aiming their new Mac Mini shaped TVMax+ squarely at the "missing link" between standard definition broadcast television and the Apple TV (and iPod). They are calling it a "content collection hub" ; the TVMax+ features a SD television tuner together with a hardware encoder that supports MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and DivX allowing it to be used (via USB 2.0) with less powerful machines than products that depend on the host machine for encoding. This should allow the TVMax+ to produce recordings that can be streamed to the forthcoming Apple TV.

Given Miglia's recent loss of an EyeTV license (which we previously mentioned), I was curious to see what software they planned to use, but that remains unclear. There is a screencap of a "MigliaTV" controller widget, however, along with announced support for both the TitanTV and tvtv electronic programing guides, so it looks like Miglia is trying to roll their own solution.

The TVMax+ is $199 and requires at least a G4/500 or any Intel processor
