I have had conflicting advice from Magnum Mac, Noel Leeming and Dick Smith over what Eyetv Hybrid is capable of and whether or not I needed to purchase a freeview decoder. One of the stores told me I would need to buy the eyetv plus and still have to purchase the freeview device and plug it into the eyetv plus. I could also plug Sky into the Plus version. Or so I was told.

I can confirm I'm getting Freeview through my Eye TV hybrid too - everything except the channel guide. After reading the above additions to this thread, I thought I'd download the update and then connect the tiny little aerial that comes with the Eye TV to see what would happen, and I was amazed to find that it worked perfectly - the picture is incredible! This is a fantastic device, and no need to buy a Freeview decoder!...<img src="http://feeds.nzmac.com/~r/nzmac-forum/~4/287968549" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.nzmac.com/forum/macs-and-peripherals/16019-remac-tv-tuner-in-auckland-worth-buying.html http://feeds.nzmac.com/~r/nzmac-forum/~3/287929291/16018-rewho-to-buy-a-new-2.8ghz-24.html DragonFire wrote: but no room for bargaining I'll be interested to hear who you go with and what you managed to bargain out of them....although I'm not sure how much room to move any of them have.

As I see it I have a few options: 1. Apple Store using the link on the site and support the site but no room for bargaining 2. Dick Smith - I can buy at Trade Price and save about $80 3. Harvey Normans - might be able to get them to throw in something for free? 4.

I can confirm that it is now working fine with Freeview HD (digital terrestrial). In Wellington (specifically at points with good reception in Avalon and Miramar, using a good UHF antenna) I was able to get a total of 17 channels on Freeview, of which about five were unused. A total of three transport streams at each location (from different transmitters). With version 3.0.1 of the software, only progressive scan channels (TV1 and TV2) worked.
