What is happening here? This is not news. The MyTV.PVR has been on Hauppauge's website for over a month and a half. There's even been two reviews, neither of them good.

well, just purchased the mytv .pvr from eskape labs. in a word USELESS! do not buy this product! never had a BRAND NEW product for a mac that demands you follow all of these insane directions to update the hardware, none of which made any difference at all. i run a g4 ibook with mega-ram installed, 1.25ghz ….and this thing never worked once. or showed any sign of working. just crashed or showed a white screen….after piddling with this for over an hour…..I GIVE UP! going right back to the store it was purchased from.
very frustrated. also, no tech support, no troubleshooting information, no toll free help number, and stupid grade school typos all over the useless website and readme files.

never posted a review on a product, but felt i must inform unsuspectors that this product is JUNK.

for more, see reviews on amazon.com

I tried one of these. It pretty much behaved like the other poster indicated. The G4 PowerMac with OSX Tiger indicated a USB device in its port, but beyond that, nothing. Couldn't get any of the menus to do anything but be all grayed out. Screwed around with driver downloads, nada.

Being a programmer who has used Hauppauge's Windows-based products for years, let me tell you, this comes as no surprise. Their Windows products "sort of" work, but not without a lot of screwing around.
