TVDuo: Miglia's new twin tuner for Mac

TVDuo enables you to watch, pause, rewind, skip forward and record live TV on your Mac. You can watch digital terrestrial TV on your Mac, it now has two TV tuners, so that you can watch one channel while you record another or record two channels simultaneously.

You get the usual PVR-esque features of pause, rewind and skip forward live TV, but because you use it with your computer you get these added benefits - it comes with with Elgato’s EyeTV 2, allowing you to record TV, remove the adverts and then export to your iPod Video or PSP.

Features include an EPG (electronic programme guide) and Picture-in-Picture feature. A full-size remote control, for typical TV style experience. And the great ability to schedule recordings of shows via the internet or mobile phone thanks to its online tv guide.

These are brilliant little devices, I've a Humax PVR in my lounge and I definately find I've always got something to watch, however its a little more tricky taking that content off the Humax and putting it onto my PSP or Mac for alternative viewing. With the TVDuo you're already on your Mac so archiving to DVD or transferring to another media is relatively simple -especially with the built in capabilities of EyeTV.

No sign of price just yet, but this is a great UK/Euro solution for Mac based PVR. Read all about it here.
