720p or 1080i HD features require an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

For years I've longed for a reasonably-priced DVR that doesn't require sending $20 to Comcast or $15 to Tivo every month.Analog TV recorded and processed by a software encoder quality depends on processor performance. I'm very anxious to jump on their Prime model with cable card support. It would be swell if Silicon Dust had their DVR software ready and reliable by then. My Eye TV subscription lasts through next February. I'm going to cut off the connector from this broken supply and rig it to this SATA adapter supply to hold me over until I get a new dedicated supply. It seems that the old supply only had enough oomph to power that tiny green LED inside the EyeTV, but not enough current to actually drive the unit.

I jury-rigged this adapter to my EyeTV 250 Plus box using alligator clip jumper wires and, lo and behold, the blue LED came on at full brightness. It's used to power an adapter that allows me to connect bare SATA drives to my Mac Pro via USB. As it turned out I had a 5V 2A switching power supply sitting literally at my feet underneath my workstation at home. I was seconds away from pulling the trigger on an HD HomeRun Connect from B&H Photo when I thought I'd do a little more troubleshooting on the power supply. I want to be ready for premiere week.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for the quick replies, I really appreciate your insight and suggestions. It looks like the HD HomeRun Prime could do that with a cable card, but I'd definitely have to run Windows Media Center on something, right? And I have no idea how their developing HD HomeRun DVR is supposed to work.Īnyway, any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. We're Comcast subscribers, and I'd love to be able to DVR cable programming but I don't want to pay $15/month for Comcast's DVR. I don't need that to run the HD Home Run Connect, do I? Should I go with the HD HomeRun Connect, since that supposedly works with the Elgato DVR software on a Mac? If so, is there some trick to connecting that unit via ethernet? The Silicon Dust site talks a lot about running Windows Media Center. If I want something that works with the Eye TV software it looks like I'll have to get an HD HomeRun box of some sort. The Mac Mini goes into my Pioneer receiver through an HDMI adapter and on to my TV. It was connected via USB to a 2009 2Ghz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8, recording onto a big array attached via Firewire. The EyeTV 250 Plus was hooked up to an antenna in my attic to record OTA programming here in Portland. The power cube is outputting 5V, and a green LED inside the unit lights when plugged in, but nothing else. The blue LED on the front won't light, and my Mac Mini doesn't see the hardware. Several recordings attempted on August 20th didn't happen. It appears my EyeTV 250 Plus MPEG encoder thing died earlier this week.
