However, EyeTV does allow for export. In the View menu, you must first open the EyeTV program list, which includes any recorded programs. Once selected, that program can be exported in iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, QuickTime, AppleTV, MPEG-4 (including "hinted" information for QuickTime streaming), HD TV, H.264, DivX AVI, and Windows Media.
A Tuner For The PC
For the PC, I went for an AVerMedia Hybrid Ultra USB, which gets its operating power from the USB 2.0 port it connects to.

The device is larger than the EyeTV -- it's a box about 4 x 4.5x 1 inches. All the AV connections (RCA video and audio jacks, S-video), the RF inputs (75-ohm cable and FM), and the USB connections are along the side of the box. An LED shows when the box is operating.
Also included are the Windows MCE USB IR Blaster and Receiver devices. The receiver plugs into the computer's USB port, while the Blaster operates off the receiver to transmit. These devices assure that the included IR remote will be able to operate, even if the computer doesn't have an IR port built in.
Installation procedures are typical. First, the device is plugged into the USB port, and detected by the OS. After you've installed the drives, the actual setup takes place in Windows Media Center, which causes the box to scan the TV input for active signals, build an active playlist, and download the channel guide for the appropriate zipcode.
Media Center handled playback of the TV signal rather well, and it integrated the TV picture with program notes it downloaded by keeping the TV picture alive in a small box. Recordings made by the device are also stored and integrated into Media Center, which shows them like any other Microsoft recorded video.
Subsea cable alternatives can provide a level of comfort for those concerned about disruptions. Realistically, they will continue to play a small, but critical role in the short term.
Maintaining existing network infrastructures often incurs huge technical debt before newer technologies are adopted over time.
Amid ongoing regional uncertainties, telecom infrastructure in the Middle East has expand to include terrestrial low-latency network infrastructure, which offers resilience and agility in navigating political complexities without relying solely on undersea networks.
