Post #189,934 by Another Scott 1/12/05 12:53:27 PM Reply	A lot of the press doesn't understand it. It could be a very important product for Apple, but they need to connect the dots. If someone jumps out and shows the average Joe how to make a decent TiVo box out of this thing quickly and easily, I think it'll really take off. "It'll let you record TV shows! It'll let you send e-mail to your grandkids! It'll save your digital pictures! It'll save all of your music! You can surf the web and not worry about viruses and spyware! ..." A TiVo won't do all that, a regular PC won't do all that. I haven't seen this much "excitement" about an Apple computer in a long time. But it needs to find its niche in the home quickly before the MS/Dell duopoloy brings out a lame pseudo-clone and steals Apple's thunder. Cheers, Scott.

[link\|http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/01/11/eyetvwonder/index.php\|MWSF: Elgato, ATI bring EyeTV Wonder to Mac] EyeTV Wonder features a 125-channel analog TV tuner and an S-Video and composite video input that can connect to cable television, VCRs and gaming consoles. It also sports stereo analog inputs. You can schedule and record programs using TitanTV, an online programming guide that also supports remote programming over the Internet. ElGato's web site isn't responding at the moment, wonder if they're being bombarded by people interesting in doing this.
