I was interested in the products suitability for watching videoblogs on the TV. I can understand your frustration with the limitations of the product, and if it doesnt play any digital TV content then the FAQ is indeed misleading. I dont find it misleading in terms of what resolution the box actually works at though, 480p.
The only reason I questioned your total un-recommendation of the product is that its unsuitability for HDTV doesnt affect its suitability for watching videoblogs, and that was the original reason I mentioned the product. Apparently there are other devices out there which are pretty much the exact same hardware, and some of them work on PC and Mac rather than just the Mac. Software features/bugs, and physical connectors may also vary. eg: http://www.neuston.com/en/mc500.asp Also the FAQ for the above device has far more technical detail about what formats are supported. Sounds like its compatible with 3ivx videoblogs, many different sorts of mp4 but not wmv or h264. http://www.neuston.com/en/mc500faq.asp Any idea what bitrate the standard definition recordings from your eyetv500 are? Seems like the eyeHome and friends can support mpeg2 up to 12Mbps, so Im wondering if thats the incompatibility with SD stuff from the eyeTV500, or whether its for some other reason. I guess I will find out soon whether it works with the UK digital eyeTV410.
