The website is OK but it's better when used with the EyeTV application
which operates the Elgato tuners.

Works well with the EyeTV iPhone app, which can also remotely control
the EyeTV on the Mac as well getting live TV streamed from the Mac.
Looking forward to seeing teh iPad version.

That is something special indeed. I've downloaded it, can confirm it
works superbly with voiceOver. That's one handy tool. Well done for the
find. As you'll appreciate, it's handy to know what is available on the
