Works well. On Spectrum (formerly Time Warner) and all outlets on cable now require digital converter box. This worked well. Had to tell it it was a Time Warner remote (eyeTv tried 4 models of controller interface, found the right one). The box says Scientific Atlanta but it didn't respond to their command set. Once working, no issues. This version is better at encoding/decoding recordings on other computers in the house, delivering HD without jitter pretty well.

Have not yet had the chance to test unit, but overall build quality appears solid and it was convenient that all cables were included. The reason I only gave it 5 stars was because unless you purchase a USB repeater extension cable, the EyeTV box, your computer, and your cable box all have to be right next to each other. I have purchased an extension and am looking forward to seeing if it works and to make sure I do not lose any video/audio quality. I would recommend this unit based on the concept and others' positive reviews!
This sets gold standard for HD capture for MAC. It does everything they advertise that they do. I can capture 720P footage seamlessly from any HD source without a hitch. Video quality is stunning, and even if you compress files for sharing(youtube, etc), it still looks really nice. Software is fantastic, and the hardware is also very good. The only thing I could wish for is that it had a set of component OUT for pass-through signals. For example. When I record xbox 360 footage, I have to use a distribution amp (a splitter), so that I can record and play at the same time since the box only allows IN. Happauge PVR, for example, has an extra set of output ports just for this purpose.
Pros: It is bus powered from the computer so it does not need a separate power source. Very easy setup. TV guide is not needed to receive tv signals. Cons: at 1080i it is limited to 30 fps.
