March 2008 - TerraTec’s New Cinergy S USB Mac
129-Euro USB Tuner Enabling Mac Satellite Reception
All it takes to enjoy digital TV viewing on Mac Books and Apple computers is a new tool from TerraTec Electronic and a satellite uplink. With the new Cinergy S USB Mac, users can receive countless digital TV and radio stations via satellite (DVB-S). Simply connect the USB 2.0 tuner to the computer, and the Mac will receive all programs in digital picture quality. Selling for 129 euros , Cinergy S USB Mac will ship end of February.
Cinergy S USB Mac does more than merely bring the colorful world of TV into homes. The package also includes the current version of Elgato’s EyeTV software as well as the brand-new TerraTec Home Cinema (THC) software for Windows. Users are sure to be delighted with the integrated time-shifting feature. This convenient function lets them interrupt programs and resume viewing later at the same place. Cinergy S USB Mac covers the full range of TV applications, transforming Macs into powerful video recorders. Alongside its extensive array of station and favorites management tools, Cinergy S USB Mac provides a remarkably convenient search tool as part of the electronic program guide. Much like Google, this EPG search finds specific TV broadcasts based on keywords such as the show’s name, featured actors, or directors. Once the software pinpoints the targeted shows, users can program them at will.
