Elgato announces EyeTV 500 HDTV solution

Elgato today announced the release of EyeTV 500, "the first" high-definition television (HDTV) solution for Mac OS X. EyeTV 500 allows users to watch, record, timeshift, edit and archive free over-the-air HDTV and digital standard-definition television (SDTV) on the Mac. EyeTV 500 is a FireWire-powered, completely digital, fully HD capable solution, based on Elgato's EyeTV 400 technology. It allows users to watch free digital terrestrial television (ATSC) on their Mac; pause, rewind, or fast-forward through television as they are watching, record via manual, Internet, or EPG guide control; edit content using a built-in editor, and archive programs to DVD or VideoCD. It is available for $350.
