Mine came with a physical remote that lets you do some features. Main
problem is it is an IR rather than RF and the IR receiver is located on
the USB dongle so it's easy for other things to get in the way of the
remote's beam of light. They did include a little 6" USB able so you can
move the USB stick from behind the computer, but I still found it
problematic to get the remote to work unless everything lined up 'just so'.

Hi there and glad to hear you're making the move to the mac. you won't regret
it.
I have used the elgato tv tuners and the software isn't exactly bad but has
some accessibility issues. bearing in mind this was some time ago so things may
have changed since. the included software allows you to record the programs you
want to directly to the HDD without any issues, you can schedule recordings and
so much more besides. an amazing bit of kit. they're reasonably priced so I'd
give it a go in all fairness.
I'm sure others will be able to advise better on this but thought I'd give my
2P worth

Well, I've had it with our PC and am purchasing an iMac. I'd like to be able
to record TV shows via a TV Tuner card. I was informed by the Mac sales rep
that there isn't a card slot, rather, they offered me a device called the El
Gato Eye TV Hybrid. It's supposed to work with both the Mac and PC platforms.
Anybody know anything about this device, and equally important, any suggestions
for recording TV programs and having access to program guides? Thanks.
