EyeTV DTT Deluxe’s included telescopic aerial and rod aerial are primarily intended for use in areas where DVB-T (DTT) broadcasting stations emit enough power for portable DVB-T reception.

If necessary, the included IEC-MCX adapter may also be used to connect any type of active aerial that has an independent power source, or with a passive aerial such as a rooftop aerial.
]]> Like the EyeTV DTT Deluxe, the EyeTV 250 Plus INT (International) has a digital tuner capable of receiving DVB-T signals.

In addition, the EyeTV 250 Plus INT can receive analog signals, and contains a powerful hardware encoder for high quality analog recording, or digitizing video from analog sources such as VHS tapes or camcorders.

The EyeTV 250 Plus INT can receive analog TV signals from antenna, or cable services via the coaxial connector, or from composite/S-Video sources via the analog break-out cable.

The EyeTV 250 Plus INT is physically larger than the EyeTV for DTT stick, and requires the use of an external power supply (included). ]]> EyeTV DTT Deluxe does come with a bundled remote, the silver EyeTV remote.

This remote transmits IR (infrared) signals, and can also work with many other EyeTV hardware units from Elgato.
]]> EyeTV DTT Deluxe is a fully digital product. It does not have connectors for analog video.

EyeTV 250 Plus and EyeTV Hybrid have both S-Video and composite video inputs and can be used to digitize and record analog video. ]]>
Please leave sufficient space between the antenna and any equipment which is affected by electromagnetic fields (such as a portable computer, a disk drive, a magnetic card, etc.). Elgato Systems is not liable for damages caused by improper usage of this product.

The product's rod antenna was developed to provide reliable signal quality, even under conditions unfavorable for reception. It might be necessary in some cases to use an active antenna or a roof antenna - instead of the rod antenna - if there is an insufficient number of transmitters or if the nearest transmitter is too far away.

The electromagnetic field emitted by the base can interfere with pacemakers. In general, a distance of at least 20 centimeters should be maintained between the magnet and your pacemaker. If you feel the antenna's magnetic base interferes with your pacemaker, please move away from the antenna. Please discuss this matter with your doctor.]]>

---

The International standard used to broadcast HDTV in MPEG-4 AVC and H.264 is supported as of EyeTV 2.5.

Please note that Clear QAM represents only a few, random channels out of hundreds of digital cable channels. There is no guarantee that you will receive any one channel, or even any channels, when using a Clear QAM tuner with your particular cable service. Clear QAM support does work, but it will not replicate your full cable lineup.

ATSC and Clear QAM are formats primarily used in North America, and not in Europe or Australia.

Two EyeTV compatible products can receive HDTV from an external receiver, like a cable box or satellite receiver. One is the Hauppauge HD PVR - with EyeTV 3.1 or higher, it can work and receive HDTV from component cables. The EyeTV HD, used with EyeTV 3.4 or higher software, also receives HDTV from a cable box or satellite receiver via component cables.

EyeTV products with analog inputs can receive standard and premium channels from a cable box or satellite receiver, in SDTV format.

To play full resolution HDTV, you need any Core Duo Mac, a Core 2 Duo Mac, or a Dual G5. A slower Mac will play the recording, but scaled down from HDTV resolution to 1/4 resolution (similar to DVD quality). ]]>
