The new update incorporates Video iPod exporting, plus the ability to
view and record 2 channels at the same time. Which is just the thing
you need with the quality tv shows on this summer :-)
Unfortunately it will only allow you to record multiple channels that
"reside on the same transponder/multiplex" simultaneously. Which means
you'd probably only be able to watch the Channel 10 SD, HD and Program Guide
channels simultaneously (maybe ABC and ABC 2 if they share the same
frequency?). I haven't tried it on my EyeTV 400 yet, but I'm pretty sure
that the Channel 9 and Channel 10 don't share the same digital frequency.
I'll be trying it tonight to confirm. Anyone else tried it already?
That makes sense. Too bad we have such "munted" tv laws in
Australia, where the only real use is to see the tv guide or watch
ABC and ABC2 at the same time :-( It would have been great to have
the cricket in one window and something else in another!
Seeya
Rod!
Umm... It's not the laws per se, it's how much content the stations
can afford to provide on their frequencies. If they can barely fill
one channel with re-runs they're not going to be able to fill 5. You
can't put all the TV stations into one frequency as then there
wouldn't be enough bandwidth for all the interactive stuff (multiview
etc.)
Have fun,
