EFF Reviews HDTV PVR Solution for Mac

enrico_suave points out this "PVRBlog post about EFF's Review of Elgato's EyeTV 500, an HDTV solution for the Mac. Well, a very speedy dual-processor G5 Mac, apparently. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been doing a lot of important work defending our online and digital rights including opposing the dreaded FCC mandated broadcast flag (cue boos and hisses) Elgato and Plextor also have a Standard Definition homebrew PVR solution with an EyeTV and ConvertX PVR bundle (Wired review)."

The G% is a slow processor

"Well, a very speedy dual-processor G5 Mac, apparently" reading the article only the dual G5 was able to play back HDDTV - just goes to show how slow those crappy processors are in the first place... a single P4 or AMD would do the trick...
