The package includes a telescopic antenna that connects directly to the tuner, a a rod antenna for situations that require additional flexibility of aerial placement, and an adaptor for connecting a regular (eg rooftop) TV antenna. Also provided are an infrared remote control and Elgato's famed EyeTV software which provides PVR functionality including support for over-the-air and online EPGs, basic editing of recorded programs, export to iTunes (for syncing to Apple TV, iPods and iPhones), sharing recordings with other Macs on a LAN and with other devices via the browser-based 'Wi-Fi access' (which works over wired networks too).
