Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Bigger isn't always better. This is particularly true of USB TV tuners, which have a tendency to block adjacent ports unless an extension cable is used. Elgato has put its hardware on a diet, resulting in a tuner measuring just 57 × 17 x 9 mm.
The EyeTV DTT Deluxe is smaller than some of the flash drives in my collection, and according to the company it's so small that it can be plugged into a MacBook Air without fouling the headphone or video connectors.
The lack of size does not mean a lack of features. 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).
HDTV is supported, but 720p and 1080i require an Intel Core 2 Duo based Mac, Elgato officials warn.
The EyeTV DTT Deluxe costs $A199.95/€79.95/£69.95.
