I wa surprised but even though my Mac is doing the ecoding it is not a system hog, in fact I have never notice a slow down when recording although you do need to turn off the option of it starting up automatically in live tv mode at start up that did slow down the start uo process.It still records in the background when needed without that automatic start up feature enabled. FYI Eyetv Hybrid $149 and I bought the Formac for a whopping $399, ouch!!!!! One other thing I just remembered, it supports the video iPods. Obviously I give the Eyetv Hybrid 5 stars-and the Formac 1/2 a star.

You can also open quicktime movies and view them in full screen.

It works seamlessly with Toast so with the click of one button you can burn dvd's and video cd's. The hardware is smaller than a cell phone and comes with a small input cable that has audio, composite video, and s video input so your covered if you want to make your old VHS digital. It has a buit in program guide as well as a more detailed one you can access for programs farther out. The software lets you edit unwanted commercials, it also lets you record a program at the same day/time on a weekly basis. I use it with my HD antenna and receive all the channels my Plasma does with a crystal clear picture. It has the ability to decode both digital and analog. Bottom line is the Elgato Eyetv Hybrid rocks. I own both a Formac as well as the new Elgato Hybrid.
