Hi Pedro Sorry, not my long normal answer today, as am paying the price today of burning the candle at both ends and working too long hours the last couple of weeks. (And today got the better of me to remind me,..lol).
But in answer to your question. Yes the Netstream is available in Australia. It retails for $399. More info on it here:- <http://www.simms.com.au/ProductDetails.aspx?ItemCode=1NS106001000&vendid=12 572&catid=153&ValueRam=0> And here:- <http://www.elgato.com/elgato/int/mainmenu/products/tuner/netstreamdtt/produ ct1.en.html> You're sort of right, in that you can stream it to any Mac in the house. However, it's just really a unit with two tuners, so can only be watching it (or recording) on two machines. A third machine would have to wait. You can also do it wirelessly to the computers. However, this was a caveat as I saw it. The unit has an ethernet port on it, Therefore your TV areial and modem/router all have to be in the same spot, so the Netstream can plug into the Ethernet port on the router and then into the aerial. Sure, there would be ways around it by adding other devices to do it if all the gear wasn't in the same place, but then you're adding more cost to it. I can see it being a fairly good unit, if the "conditions" are right. :o) Hope that helps a little.
