Simply plug it into your Mac using the included USB cable (EyeTV needs a built-in USB port, not an external hub) connect your antenna, cable box, or satellite dish and install the software. While SnapStream requires the separate purchase of a TV tuner card, which then needs to be installed and configured, EyeTV comes with an external TV tuner that's easy to hook up. Installation is actually the one area where EyeTV bests SnapStream. But it's still cheaper than TiVo, and it's a good choice for playing couch potato in front of your Mac. EyeTV also costs $100 more than the PC choice, SnapStream Personal Video Station, and doesn't offer as many features. EyeTV has a near-cult following, but we were disappointed in its slow performance, frequent need to be reset, and poor image quality with an antenna. With EyeTV, you can record your favorite shows, skip over commercials, pause live TV, edit programs, and-if you own Roxio Toast 5.0 Titanium-burn your shows to video CDs. EyeTV is the only way to get television with personal video recorder (PVR) functions-think TiVo-on your Mac.
