HDHomeRun for Mac is powered by award-winning
EyeTV digital TV recording software:
Watch digital television on your Mac.
Watch and record live TV simultaneously or watch two channels.
Picture-in-Picture.
Rewind, fast-forward, and pause live TV.

Record hours of favorite TV shows directly on a Mac's hard drive and edit out unwanted content.
Find TV shows using the built-in Program Guide.

Looks fantastic! Problem is that it's ATSC - not DVB-T, so it won't work in Australia until they fix that (easy I'm assuming).

Yeah I believe that too, as the original units which I saw some weeks back when I was doing some Mythtv research where I found the units advertised by the manufacturer over here.

It looks like Elgato are just selling it since they have included software support for it. Much like Mythtv has done so too, Mythtv boxes can use these tuners too.

If they make a Australian version, I'd be inclined to buy

Looks like we will never see a DVB-T one.
I received this from Elgato:

Hi.
Unfortunately, because this is a third-party piece of hardware, we have no control over the DVB-T capabilities of the HDHomeRun, and they will not be available in Australia. I am sorry for this inconvenience.

Thank you for contacting Elgato.

Yeah I hope so too, anyone want to email them to ask When I found it in my travels some weeks back I didn't bother exploring further, but I didn't know they would have Elgato adding support into its EyeTv software at the time. Although Mythtv has adopted it and support the SiliconDust hardware as per my post way way above

Hi,
The DVB-T version of the HDHomeRun will be in pilot production this year.
We can email you nearer the release date if you are interested.
