Elgato's USB EyeTV DTT Deluxe tuner handles DVB-T / Freeview

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 13th 2008 at 11:45AM

Folks traveling to DVB-T / Freeview land (that would be across the pond for you Yankees) should certainly give thought to how they're going to receive their much needed dose of OTA programming while there. If you're still living without a USB tuner, have a gander at Elgato's latest. The EyeTV DTT Deluxe snaps right into any spare USB port (on a Mac, that is) and picks up DVB-T / Freeview signals within range. Bundled in, you'll find the recently released EyeTV 3 software, two types of aerial antennas and an EyeTV remote. Folks in Europe can snatch the unit right now for €79.95 ($126), and while we're hoping for an ATSC version to surface shortly, there's nothing to signify that our dreams are close to coming true.

The problem with these things is not the USB device but the aerial attached to it. I have a Hauppage USB DVB-T device and the aerial that came with it is so puny useless that you would have to be in a very strong reception area for it to be any use at all.

You do realize that Americaland isn't the only country on this side of the Atlantic. I know that most American maps end at the 49th parallel, with Alaska and Hawaii in little boxes off the west coast, but there is a land north of there, and that land, is Canada.
