Filed under: Hardware Same price, same features (mostly) but a sleek and slender new look: yesterday Elgato introduced the latest revamp of its EyeTV Hybrid USB tuner for high-definition digital television. The US$150 widget gives you the option of watching over-the-air digital television in full HD glory, and can also tune in unencrypted (Clear QAM) and analog cable TV signals. If you’ve got an analog source like a VCR or videogame console, you can also route those signals through the EyeTV Hybrid to watch or play on your Mac (for those who don’t need the analog option, Elgato also sells the HD tuner-only EyeTV One for $120)

EyeTV Hybrid shrinks down, gains Win7 compatibility
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. 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.

Crapware’s bad enough, but having your life torn asunder simply by plugging in that shiny new (insert USB-connected device here) is an exciting new trend — viruses find their way into the darnedest places, don’t they? It seems an employee at anti-malware firm Panda Research who’d ordered a new Magic off Vodafone UK’s site was greeted with no fewer than three nefarious executables upon plugging the device into her PC: a bot client, a password stealer, and a Conficker variant, and running a network sniffer quickly confirmed that the virii were live and ready to do harm as soon as the autorun in the Magic’s mounted mass storage was executed on her Windows machine.
