Build a PVR using Mac Mini and EyeToy 200
Spot on! 4 years ago

Since we’re rapidly moving to digital age here in Finland I bought the DVB-C model (610) for digital cable signal.

The setup is really great. I have built-in bluetooth and airport extreme in the mini as well so I have the same wireless goodies and Salling Clicker as DHH. The internet program guide, tvtv, should become available in Finland next fall, so from that on I can program recordings from wherever I might be traveling.

The only downsides are that there’s only one receiver in the EyeTV so I can’t record one channel and watch another at the same time, and that my 28” analog TV isn’t really up to showing the picture the Mini feeds it. Can’t wait to get a huge lcd tv/monitor for the setup when I’m rich and famous.

I have NO IDEA what any of this means

being tech-challenged, but I love your enthusiasm and your going-for-it-ness. Now THAT is what I call wired, online, and connected.

Good luck!
