![]() It's practically impossible for me to do in any meaningful day to day way…it's a tool I still keep in the bag, though, to be able to get a single channel on those very rare occasions when my cable goes out and there's something I need to see live, like a network football game. ![]() Which means I'm limited to at best angling indoor uni-directional antennas sharply left or right to try to pull a signal down and back in to me. I can't put anything on the roof nor have anything extend out from our windows. Even though I'm only a couple of miles as the crow flies due south from our towers and that most of them are on one of the highest points in Northwest DC, which in theory should be good for reception, I'm on the wrong side of my building (diametrically opposed to the towers) in a very low area, on a lower floor of our 10 story building so that everything sails right over me. ![]() I don't think there's any way to predict what would happen because reception is influenced by so many factors beside your tuner that are unique to you…your distance from the towers, the congestion and density of a thriving metropolis versus a flat plain, how high up you are, which side of the building you're on, then there's the particular characteristics of the antennas themselves. If you're satisfied with network shows this still is a viable way to cut the cord.keep your internet access though so you can still supplement with streaming and downloading. EYETV COMPATIBLE SOFTWAREShop around for a cheap used EyeTV tuner that includes the software.which works with the Silicon Dust HD Homerun tuners.and you're all set, if you shop well probably for less than $100 total, that's one HD Homerun dual tuner, one cheap El Gato USB stick tuner, the EyeTV software plus a year of TV Guide. But, if all the OP wants to record is ATSC in OS X on his Mac and not deal with either Myth or Windows and he doesn't care about CableCARD or premium channels, he can still do what he wants very easily and relatively cheaply-the older HD Homerun dual ATSC tuners are abundant and can easily be had for relatively little on eBay because everyone wants the CableCARD versions. EYETV COMPATIBLE CRACKEDHigh definition channels, encrypted programs and/or DVB-T2 broadcasts are not supported.Whatever market there was for El Gato with EyeTV dried up because 1) most people don't record ATSC, they don't even know what it is and 2) cablecos have steadily and progressively cracked down on the channels they passed along in the clear, which is what most of us here were recording. EyeTV Mobile supports MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264 video in standard definition as well as DVB-T radio, if available. ![]()
