Is the Elgato Eyetv Hybrid safe to use with an iBook G4? I don't want any issues with bugs or viruses.?

Answer 1

No viruses on OS X, and yes, it works fine on my 1.2ghz iBook G4
Only downside is that it really feels the lack of power while using a video input different from DTT (like analog tv, or using it to play a gaming console on your Mac screen) making it absolutely impossible to record anything like that. On the other hand, recording DTT works fine, even if it uses quite a lot of the cpu power.
Since were talking about this, i'm going to tell you it recieves really fine all the channels, but the tiny antenna in the box... more like a truly emergency system, given i can get only 1 analog chanel, like that, and no DTT.
