It’s a long time since I wrote about DVB-T with H.264, and I must admit that it is by far the most read article on my blog. I recently also written that people should not consider RiksTV when the analogue signals are turned off, so I guess some of you are a bit surprised when I wrote about them again.

The reason is simple, I am a Mac guy. Yepp, honestly I am. MacBook Pro, AppleTV, Time Capsule, iPod Touch and an iPhone on it’s way … Elgato is one of the companies only delivering software for the Mac platform that I admire most. I loved their EyeTV software, and have tried both their first and second version of it. Elgato recently launched EyeTV 3, sadly I have not had the ability to try it out yet and I was suprised to see that they in a bugfix release x.0.2 (EyeTV 3.0.2) added full support for H.264 digital broadcasts in standard-def and HDTV resolutions. For a Norwegian with a H.264 terristical sendings, this must be Christmas all over again, well that is if you are using a Mac!

Norwegians will be just as sad to see that the new version only provides QuickTime exporting of ATSC / NTSC Closed Captions for use on iPhone, iPod and Apple TV devices, cause that is for North America only. Other then that users will find a few new deinterlacing options, improved on-screen menus and a handful of bug fixes to boot.
