Looking at getting a freeview tuner for my mac, the only one's I can find are the Eye TV one's. Any others?

Does anybody have one that they can reccomend? I really wanted a dual tuner so I can record while watching but the only one's I can find are a bit pricey.

Input is appreciated guys. TIA.

Yep, EyeTV are the best Pinnacle do a product also named Diversity but it uses their software which, looks poor.... here

I would get the Elgato Diversity, its a fantastic product, and comes with the EyeTV 3 software which is just great.

Its worth it and its <£100 so while yes its pricey you do get A remote, 2x tuners, a extension lead for the USB device and 2x antenna + magnetic suction cups for the antenna. So there is a good amount of kit on top of the software in the box. Also you can buy the Elgato Turbo.264 and encode the videos into iTunes for your iPod or iPhone really quickly and it won't load up your system with the encoding.

Also the biggest thing of note is the EyeTV supports the H.264 codec now so unlike most tuner software and almost every television out there it will actually be able to decode HD content when the BBC starts broadcasting it in 2012 (or there after the digital switch over).

FYI: I found this all out by googling 'mac tv tuner' and spending 10 minutes reading the various results, also by searching the forums you would find the question was last asked about a week or two ago.
