Elgato Releases EyeTV One Tuner for Windows and Mac

By Dena Cassella Published January 13, 2010

Elgato announced its new EyeTV One TV tuner for DTV antennas. The company says EyeTV One will deliver digital TV and HDTV channels straight to your Mac or PC, allowing you to watch and record the huge variety of TV shows that are broadcast over-the-air for free. Eye TV conveniently comes with a USB built-in extender cable so you don’t have to block one of your computers ports. The EyeTV One also features a standard full-size coaxial plug and can be connected to an indoor or outdoor antenna without the need for an additional adapter.

If you are sporting a Mac, then this handy TV tuner lets you watch, pause, rewind, record and share live TV. Elgato says its EyeTV 3 software, featured on the EyeTV One, has a built-in editor to remove unwanted content and can automatically send recordings to iTunes to sync with an iPhone, iPod, or Apple TV. Windows users don’t get as many cool tricks like the Apple-fans do, but the EyeTV is still quite the gadget. EyeTV One is available at Apple resellers in the US and Canada, and at the Elgato online store for $119.95.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one

AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600

Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.

Google one-ups Microsoft by making chats easier to transfer

Google Spaces in Google Chat on a MacBook.

In a recent blog post, Google announced that it is making it easier for admins to migrate from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat to reduce downtime. Admins can easily do this within the Google Chat migration menu and connect to opposing Microsoft accounts to transfer Teams data.

Google gave step-by-step instructions for admins on how to transfer the messages. Admins need to connect to their Microsoft account and upload a CSV of the Teams from where they transfer the messages. From there, it requires just entering a starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams and clicking Star migration. Once it's complete, it'll make the migrated space, messages, and conversation data available to Google Workspace users.
