[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 883013, member: 24160"] They both provide different functionality. The EyeTV is a video capture / TV tuner device. Those drives are storage devices and media players that you would have attached to your TV instead of your computer to play the video you capture with the EyeTV. None of those drives have a TV tuner in them. If you are wanting to record live TV, you'll still need the EyeTV or similar. The drives accept a regular old composite audio/video in connection. Personally, wouldn't want to be capturing TV in HD and then turning around and recording it via composite. Or, you still capture the video on your computer with the EyeTV and then transfer the resulting files to the Media Player which you would leave attached to your TV for playback. Have not looked at those in particular, but it appears they may capture other media that you can connect via composite only as would the EyeTV. [/QUOTE]
