Ickle. Shiny. Gadgety. Me want.
Oooh, look at this!
I've been debating getting a digital terrestrial receiver for a while now, particularly after my problems with Sky, and the fact that Sky's free digital service doesn't include great channels like More 4 and FilmFour. But I wanted something that would replace the recording facility that Sky+ gives me.
That internationally feted TVAG*, Siobhan, has been raving about her EyeTV kit for a while now (which allows you to record directly to a hard drive), and now Elgato have shrunk the whole thing down to something that will slot in the side of my laptop, I'm really tempted. A whole set-top box fitted into something the size of a USB pen? And painted silver? What's not to like?
In fact the only hurdle left is the cost. So I've decided to make beckysweb.co.uk a pay site.
Retrospectively. You all owe me a tenner.

Works great with the feed from my Sky box though.
