hi i'm ty pendlebury and this is a review of the hdhomerun jewel if you're sick of paying a hundred dollars or more for cable access every month there are a few options available to you if you're one of the growing number of people who watch television on your mac or pc then you may be interested in the hdhomerun jewel unlike most USB TV tuners this is a networked tuner meaning can be used by one or more different computers in the house at the same time one cable connects to a TV antenna and the other to your router and setup is super easy there are two versions starting at $99 one comes without software and is designed for windows and there's a version for mac which includes our gatos itv at a hundred and seventy nine dollars the device has two tuners which means you can record one show while watching another or if two computers are using it once they each use a tuner each windows media center found the tuner on the network straight away and we were able to record from the guide and watch TV with decent quality if we used a wired connection that is while this performance was pretty bad weather we watched SD or HD channels mac on the other hand involved a bit more setup but wireless performance was excellent on standard definition channels if you plan to watch and record at the same time or watch HD channels we'd still recommend a wired connection you can also use the elgato iphone app to stream TV and the quality is adjustable as a result of the wild's problems the hdhomerun jewel is recommended for desktop PCs and not laptops this has been ty pendlebury with the hdhomerun jewel
