• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Will this work with Eye TV?

No. It's a WinTV device, requires windows.

Select the EyeTV preferences and choose Devices. The two popups will help you find the devices that it apparently supports. I would buy locally so you can take back item that don't work.

Actually, I picked up the Pinnacle Pro HD Stick (model 800e) and it's been a great device, no compatibility issues at all, and the video quality from eyeTV is great. I got the stick at Best Buy a few months back for $59.

Cheers!
