Review: Twinhan Alpha Mac Edition (DVB-T USB 2.0)

Harris Technology have these for under $60. I thought that was a bargain so I picked one up. I have recorded a TV show and was very impressed (it is my first foray into digital TV as well). Here is a brief review:

Pros:
  • It's cheap;
  • It includes EyeTV (version 2.x, still great);
  • It works exactly as advertised.

Cons:
  • The box is big (and mentions that you need a FireWire port?);
  • The printed documentation is average (thankfully you don't need it);
  • The included aerial is useless unless you live under a transmitter (use a rooftop antenna).
