EyeTV Hybrid (2010) - Hybrid TV tuner stick for Mac & PC Review

EyeTV Hybrid (2010) - Hybrid TV tuner stick for Mac and PC
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the EyeTV Hybrid as I had read a lot of great things about Elgato and the EyeTV products and I was intrigued. I wanted to get retire my cable bill as I was tired of paying Comcast so much money each month. So, I bought the EyeTV and a Terk antenna and I couldn't be happier. The product was very easy to set up and took just a few minutes before I was watching TV on my Mac. I used the set up assistant and within a few minutes it found 22 channels in my area. All of these are over the air (most in digital). I have the EyeTV plugged in to my Mac Mini and my 27" monitor and the quality of the picture is amazing. Not only can I watch live TV, but it has the Tivo functionality of allowing me to pause and rewind live TV. The EyeTV comes with a subscription to TV Guide and I schedule recordings the EyeTV to record programs and then watch them later. The EyeTV even has an easy to use editor to edit the commercials - this is really a convenient feature. I subsequently purchased the EyeTV App from the App Store for $5 and now I can stream live TV on my iPhone. I love this feature. I'm hoping they will release a EyeTV App for the iPad soon! I'm looking forward to one less bill each month and saving hundreds of dollars each year. I highly recommend this product.

New Pair BLACK Headrest with 7" DVD USB SD VIDEO Monitors Wireless Game Car Package Review

New Pair BLACK Headrest with 7 DVD USB SD VIDEO Monitors Wireless Game Car Package
Average Reviews:

I purchased this through Amazon, but the sub-supplier handled complaints and return of the product. I am glad that I had Amazon backing up this purchase.
After reading several other reviews on this product, I was prepared for some of the issues. The biggest issue is the Chinese to English translation in the operations manual (not the installation). You need to sit down with a cup of coffee and read these directions first with the product in front of you. There is a Chinese website that is more useful than the instruction manual, or the supplier.If you have a 12 VDC power supply, it is worth it to sit down and figure out all the controls and make sure everything functions before you install these.
The adapter rods are of course too small in diameter for today's American Made vehicles. So I twice wrapped them top to bottom with black electrical tape. That seemed to make them snug enough to fit.
Hooking up the wiring was relatively easy. My problem came after I had installed them and after playing for 5 minutes, one of the LCD screens went totally blank. The supplier company required me to package everything back up and Fedex picked them up the next day. One week later, my returned package arrived at their business in New York. After a few phone calls, they then shipped a new set which arrived in three days. I tested the new headsets for an hour before installing them. I didn't want to have that problem again.
The game CD have nothing on them. they are blank. So I guess you have to go to their website, download the games compresed to your computer, open the games, then transfer them to the CD.
Make sure your headsets work. If you have 2 kids in the car and they are watching different DVDs, the sound is maddening. Remember the speakers are right behind your head times 2.
So far I am pleased with the equipment. I had three previous vehicles that came from the factory with entertainment systems and we liked them all. But with my latest car purchase, I didn't want to spend $1200 more for factory installed DVD systems, so I thought this was a good investment. If in the future these DVD players break, I can just re-install original headrest. At least for now the grandkids are occupied on long trips.
I rated this a '3' because the operating instructions are difficult to understand, and that I had to wait two more weeks for a good set to arrive. The supplier did handle the problem without question..they just wanted to confirm there was something wrong with them.

Logitech PlayStation 2 Cordless Action Controller Review

Logitech PlayStation 2 Cordless Action Controller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
One thing I always hated about game consoles was the constant tripping over tangled wires. Wires intersecting each other, making a mess of things.
Enter the Logitech Cordless Action Controller!! This is without a doubt one of the best controllers I've ever used! The controllers is very well made. The feel of it is very natural in your hands, though slightly different than the original PS2 Dual Shock. There's a nice satin like finish that prevents alot of dirt from your hands from making the controller too slippery. There is literally no notciable lag or delay in the controller's operation. The controllers 2.4 ghz signal ensures that you won't miss any of the action. Every function of the original is reproduced faithfully. Installation is extremely simple. Plug the reciever into your PS2's controller port and simpley press the action button to get a signal. There is also a button on the reciever to make the connection if needed. The battery life (the controller takes two AA batterys) is approximatley 300 hours without the vibration mode and 50 hours with the vibration mode on. A small sacrifice to make for a great product such as this.
I really can't say enough good things about this product. It's great if you have small children in the house especially. No more worrying if they are going to trip and drag the console across the room. In fact this is such a great controller I'm considering buying a second!

POP STATION VIDEO GAME & RADIO Review

I bought this for my Grandson, which is very good with handheld games. He is not very interested in this product. I bought this trying to replace one that his Mother had ran thought the washer. The radio does work. The games are not very advanced and not real easy to understand.

Sabrent SBT-TVFM TV Tuner/Video Capture/FM Radio PCI Card with Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

First of all, the item that is sent will NOT be the item in the picture. However the tuner still works. When I first installed the tuner, it crashed my computer. Apparently the driver did not agree with windows, and the driver recommended by windows will not work with the tuner. Nevertheless, after a few hours of messing with the driver, it eventually worked and it's been working perfectly ever since. By the way, just to clarify about video quality, for normal viewing, it's the best tuner under 30 dollars with a remote. But if you want to record, the video will not be so good, it'll be really fuzzy if you're use to dvd quality videos. And also, it will not work with Media Center (not the OS, but the program), which is quite disappointing. You should buy this only if you have the patience and technical experience to adjust those settings.
