Evans goes on to explain how EyeTV incorporates the New Zealand program guide, and Mac processor support: The app is priced at $4.99, or it is a free upgrade if you already own the app. This app is also a universal app that will work on the iPhone as well. They could have simply giving you the converted recording, much like TiVo does, but instead they make themselves stand out from the crowd. It’s attention to detail like this that makes the app that more appealing. I like how Elgato is taking it up a notch by adding in the cover art and detailed information for the show’s that are recorded.
Recordings exported to iPad format from EyeTV are displayed with elegant cover art and program details, including series and episode descriptions, movie summaries and more.” “EyeTV’s one-click export buttons in the toolbar can be configured to export to iPad-optimized format (as well as iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV).
Jonny Evans of 9to5Mac explains some of the new features: Well now with an update you can do the same with your iPad. EyeTV however gives you the capability to convert your shows for your iPod or iPhone. You can schedule shows to record just like you would on your TiVo, or Cable/Satellite DVR.
For the uninitiated, Elgato’s products turns your Mac into a home DVR media center. For those of you who use Elgato’s EyeTV with your Mac as a DVR media solution, get ready for an update to allow streaming to your iPad.
