I'm doing 1 thing
It works pretty well for TV, very good picture, and the Miglia TVMini is very good at picking up channels, a lot better than my proper Freeview box. The TV Guide information system in EyeTV isn’t fantastic, the grid view is a bit too cluttered and not as nice to look at as DigiGuide is (but that’s windows only). tvtv.co.uk has TV guide information which I’m using (you get a year free when you install EyeTV) and you can schedule recordings from the web.
Although I’m going to list a lot of annoyances below, it’s still a worthwhile project, and only took me an evening to get it all setup.
A couple of problems/annoyances I’ve found:
- There isn’t a Front Row interface to EyeTV (or any TV software)
- The IR receiver for the Miglia TVMini is on the stick, not through the Mac Mini’s dedicated IR port
- The TV Guide system is horrible to look at and small programs don’t get a description
- There’s no ‘tooltips’ on the TV guide grid view
