Most of the size reduction comes from ditching the analog connector found on the previous model (you'll still get an adapter), and you'll also now get a sturdier aluminum enclosure that stays in line with the company's Mac-only roots. Otherwise, you'll get the same support for over-the-air HD broadcasts as before, along with Elgato's EyeTV 3 software, and an included remote control -- all for the same $150 that the original model cost. ]]> Elgato’s original EyeTV Hybrid USB tuner wasn’t exactly oversized, but the company has nonetheless managed shrink things down a bit for the device’s latest revision, and it’s added some Windows 7 support for good measure.
