There are a few USB devices out there that can handle HD, but QAM, a method used by cable broadcasters to send digital signals down the same line as their analog programming, is almost nonexistent in the genre. None of these three tuners are compatible with High Definition ( HD) or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation ( QAM). The third tuner, Eskape, also uses its own proprietary application which can also capture in a variety of formats, and which was ready to be played by other applications as soon as I was done.
Miglia has recently switched from EyeTV to its own branded software, (that's the reason for the "+" in the product's name), and it has definable recording formats for a variety of playback devices. Plextor uses Elgato's EyeTV DVR software, which works fine but had a few issues - while EyeTV claims to capture video directly to MPEG format, nothing I had would play the videos except EyeTV until I used EyeTV to convert the files to MPEG.
Basically, it's an online guide to TV programming, usually spanning about two weeks, that lets you select programs to watch and/or record.Īnd all three come with software that does the nitty-gritty TV work (preferences for screen size, recording quality and location, even channel changing) and, in conjunction with a good EPG, can turn the computer you already own into a TiVo-like system. In addition, all three of these tuners take advantage of TitanTV's electronic programming guide (EPG).
