running two analog usb tv tuners

[Stylez]

Hello,

I am new to the mac scene and I was investigating whether it's possible to connect two analog usb-tuners (Elgato) to a mini or macbook pro and get them to work, so I can record and watch different channels at the same time?

I'm not sure if this is being sold yet, but....

I know, but I will need two Analog tuners.

This is for digital over the air, I have no use for that where I live

Ahhh, sorry, I missed that part.

Take a look at this instead:

Apparently, dual analog support with two tuners is beta-level. Some users report it works and others report it as sketch.

Thank you very much, that was the sort of link I needed.

pitty the link from elgato doesn't tell when that was written. If they say they're going to support it I'd like to know when It should work, but with bugs..I guess I can give it a try.


If anyone has user experience I'd be glad to hear!

Elgato has been stating that ever since I started using eyetv, it has been almost 2 years and still no improvement in sight to support dual tuners.

The EyeTV Diversity is a dual tuner dongle right out of the box.

Ok, I rephrase, dual tuners such as the Diversity and the TVduo are supported in Eyetv, but multiple tuners are currently unsupported.
