The latest version of Elgato’s much-loved EyeTV app, 1.2.3, brings along sought-after AirPlay support for streaming to and from Macs that have an Elgato tuner stuck in a slot. The AirPlay addition means you can now stream video to Apple TV or other AirPlay-supporting products, but still also take advantage of the streaming to your portable iProducts while on the road.

The German company’s released a few tuner sticks here and there in the US, but like cheese, David Hasselhoff and soccer, Elgato’s far bigger in Europe. Having said that, their latest EyeTV Hybrid dongle could change their situation. More »
Elgato’s Video Capture takes in analogue video—RCA or S-Video—and captures it directly to Macs via USB.
Elgato has shrunk the tech in their Mac-friendly USB TV tuner dongles so that the latest EyeTV DTT Deluxe is much smaller. And as a result, it’s now compatible with the MacBook Air’s low ground-clearance. It’s got a digital tuner inside that can do full HD, so it’s just for those of you who can get DVB-T or Freeview, and apparently packs better image-processing for a less noisy picture. It also leaves the mini-DVI slot unblocked on an Air, and comes with a choice of aerials to suit the signal strength in your area. Available now for US$125 in Europe. [Register Hardware]
The Gadget: Although the Elgato Turbo.264 hardware encoder has been around for a while, products have been released that make h.264 one of the most, if not the most important video codecs out there. Not only is it supported by the iPod classic, there’s the iPod nano, iPod touch, Xbox 360, PS3, Apple TV, many, many phones (including the iPhone), and even the Zune. It’s the perfect time to get into h.264. More »
Elgato improves on their USB High Def solution for Macs by introducing the HDHomeRun, a network-connected device that can actually service multiple machines at once. There are two ATSC (over the air or unencrypted cable but not standard cable) tuners, which means two people can watch 24 and Heroes at the same time. The whole setup runs you $199, which is kind of steep if you compare it to the $299 TiVo HD. [Elgato] More »
