Elgato Netstream unleashed: Freeview everywhere!

The new Elgato Netstream dual TV tuner just killed off the single computer TV tuner for good. It’s a network tuner that slots straight into your aerial socket, hooks up to your router, and blasts out Freeview TV to any PC or Mac in the house, and it’s coming to the UK this week!

The Elgato EyeTV Netstream DTT network dual tuner, to give it its full name, may not be as absurdly small as the EyeTV DTT Deluxe, but it’s super smart: plug the Elgato Netstream into your antenna and your router, and it can sling Freeview TV to any computer in your home over Wi-Fi or ethernet, letting you watch, pause and even record programmes from your laptop in bed, while someone else catches a different channel on the desktop downstairs.


Elgato EyeTV gets official iPhone 3G streaming


The Elgato EyeTV Netstream is shipping this week in the UK, with a launch in Australia and New Zealand to follow on 8 March, but US telly fans won’t be able to use it due to the different TV system in the States. You can check out the Elgato Netstream on the company’s official site right now, so head there for full specs after you scope out all the official Elgato EyeTV Netstream pics right here.

Out this week | £229.95 | Elgato

    It would be far cheaper to buy another widescreen Freeview TV or use networking technology utilising existing house mains.What’s the point?

    Not every room can have a TV in it though – my bedroom can’t, but now I can watch Freeview on my laptop on the desk while tucked up in bed, and I don’t have to fiddle with any dongles. I just fire up the EyeTV software and This Morning pops into view!

    Already outdated – it doesn’t say that it supports DVB-T2 so it won’t work with Freeview HD and all the other new channels that are moving to that standard in the UK in the near future.
