However on balance it was no more troublesome than DVBlogic’s setup and certainly less time-consuming.Īs previously mentioned the unit comes complete with install discs for Eye TV for the Mac and PC users are catered for with terratec Home Studio. In my experience setting up the guide features was a little more tricky and I did have to resort to other’s experiences via the internet to help me out. The netstream unit does limit you to 4 concurrent clients being connected at once which may seem a little frustrating for some users. I next tried the iOS app on my iPad and this equally impressed, albeit HD was a bit more hit or miss with my WiFi not being the best. The Netstream device has hardware encoding on board and it shows with pin-sharp HD content.

I installed the Eye TV software on the Mac-Mini that I have connected to my TV, initially, and was immediately surprised at the quality of the Video. In my case my Dish is pointing to Astra 28.2 so I merely had to select that, in the software, as the preferred source and away we went!

PC and Mac software is provided with the device, or you can download the software for iOS or Android and continue from there. You have a number of options for the next part of the setup. Having connected the 4 LNB feeds and the Cat5 lead I powered the unit up and waited a few seconds for the ready LED to light. not sure why it needs two?) and a power socket and switch for the supplied wall-wart. 2 leds on the front panel, round the back there are 4 LNB sockets, a Cat5 ethernet socket, 2 USB ports (only used for maintenance purposes. It consists of a 25 x 12.6 x 4.1 cm box with the bare minimum of controls and interfaces. On the surface it seemed to offer a perfect fit. Normally I would spend hours rebuilding and re-installing but this time I had seen the Elgato EyeTV netstream 4Sat advertised and wondered if it offered a better solution. However, recently the PC failed completely, refusing to start up at all. I deal with computers as part of my day job and so am used to finding them valuable and frustrating in equal measures. PC updates, power outages and the PC failing to re-boot successfully causing scheduled recordings to be missed.

This had always worked well, the only hiccups being hardware related. The excellent DVB Logic software was used, which as some will know combines the signals from the various feeds and allows for streaming on a number of different devices, DNLA clients, iPads, android tablets 7 phones etc. The signal for these is provided by 4 feeds from an octo LNB. 2 of these were Hauppauge S2 units, the other 2 sources being provided by a Pinnacle dual card offering standard definition feeds only. Also it crashes way too much.Guest review by Ian Webster some years my previous arrangement for distributing satellite across various devices in my home was a PC (located in the loft) fitted with a total of 4 satellite cards. There are too many ways to do the same thing. Very confusing, difficult to setup and know what is going on at any time. Maybe next year I will buy an additional EyeTV so that I can record two things at a time.In as much as I love this product, the software is not great. This has been great with the new fall season.

As of late, I have been using HippoRemote from my iPhone which is a much better solution. I would prefer a better remote, but this one works fine for now. The little Mac Remote works with the Mac Mini to control the software. I can record live TV, pause, schedule, etcâ€¦ Through TV Guide I get the entire EPG (guide) at my fingertips.

This software/hardware combination along with my OTA antenna signal, provides me a great way to replace my outdated Tivo and any set top box that I could receive from the cable companies. I got the USB stick version, not the one in the picture. To go along with with my Mac Mini in my living room, I purchased Elgatoâ€™s EyeTV.
