#ELGATO EYETV NETSTREAM DTT SOFTWARE#
When you're using Windows Media Center, this is a really handy function, and one that will help you get the best out of the hardware.Įven though the network we used the Netstream on wasn't the best or fastest, we had no problem persuading our PC to pick up the signal either via the TerraTec software or Windows Media Center. This increases the flexibility of the box, allowing you to record one channel while you watch another, or simply watch two channels on two different computers. This means that, if you've made recordings you'd like to catch up on, you can do so via the 360 with minimal fuss. Windows Media Center also has the advantage that it can be used on an extender too, such as the Xbox 360. You can also use Windows Media Center's EPG to schedule recordings, as you would with any personal video recorder. Once you've got this, and installed it, you'll be able to use Windows Media Center's built-in 'live TV' function to tune in and watch channels.

This is by far the most elegant solution, but it will require you to download a small driver from the Elgato Web site first. The second option is to use Windows Media Center on your PC. This provides more detail, and listings further in advance, than the over-the-air, eight-day electronic programme guide.

If you want to get better listings information, there's the option of a one-year trial of tvtv, an online listings service. The set-up process involves scanning for channels, which is easy, even if the software does take a while to perform its magic. The software itself is alright, although it's far from beautiful. In the box, you get two licences for this software, so you can use two separate computers to view TV channels at the same time. The first is by using the supplied TerraTec Home Cinema TV software. If you're a Windows user, you have two ways of watching video via the Netstream.
