civic, how much for tat stick?

and does it have anything call DVB-T in it?

Bought it for about RM400 with shipping from OWC (refurbished unit with 6 mths warranty). Comes with Elgato Eye TV2 Software. Didn't know the different versions then, bought the wrong one with NTSC/ATSC. For Malaysia should be PAL/DVB-T. Anyway it still works.

Pinnacles TV USB Stick for Mac costs about RM430 (All IT) new one with Elgato's Eye TV Lite software.

hmmm, where u located?

i wanna try out this dvb-t thingy, as its suppose to be ablt to receive digital signal, but the seller @ spore epi kept telling me all sorts of nonsense

I'm at Genting, currently there are no digital broadcast in Malaysia, and even if they do (probably in one or two years' time) it will be DVB-T, mine won't be able to receive it cause it's ATSC.

If you want to get it for digital TV, make sure it's the right format for the right country.

come on this is malaysia.

civic,im currently using a dvb-T on another player, it can receive HD signal, does it mean as long as i get this dvb-T stick it will receive digital signal as well as HD ones on my mac?

Yes according to Elgato's explanation. However HD quality depends on processor performance, as the TV stick does not do the processing.

i think the mac can do 1080i without any problem

Here's mine

is tat a lacie'e external HDD?

yeah, LaCie Porsche 500gb

fuiyoh... must have cost a bomb, how much ar?

Touch Touch

no it don't GMA950 can't run those HD media. Only way is santa rosa platform(x3100) or mbp then surely no problem la.

i haven google santa rosa yet, but current all macs shud be able to do 1080, no?

To be able to open 1080 HD media & to play it smoothly is two different thing. That also depends what type of encoding the file uses. Some codec take a lot of resources to decode. For example MKV. Also it's pointless to view 1080 media on tiny screen like 13.3" screen, you can't see the fine details unless you're watching it from 5cm away. You can always download some HD trailer to test on your hardware.

For my case, 720p already a very good media, watching it at 30" screen from approx 6 feet away. 720p media already 6-7GB per 2 hour movie. 1080p can easily double that. Without BD/HD DVD burner, it gonna be a hassle to archive. And current Mac do not come with BD/HD DVD drive. Render it pointless buying off the shelf BD/HDDVD movie.
