“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 5
Thank you, we have our winner. This contest is now closed. Congratulations to faithful Macenstein reader Carrie!
On the Fifth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) An EyeTV Hybrid from Elgato!

Above: This thing will change your life. (Mac not included)
Looking for a nearly endless “free” source of movies and TV shows for your iPhone/iPod? Or maybe you just want to watch and record High-Def TV on your Mac? Well, assuming you win, you’re in luck! Today we’ve got the super sweet EyeTV Hybrid Mac TV tuner up for grabs, and at the risk of being accused of overselling this, I couldn’t live without mine. Maybe it’s just because I have kids, but if I had to pay for all the episodes of SpongeBob, Hannah Montana, Blues Clues and Barney I have put on my various iPods, iPhones, and Apple TVs over the years, I would have gone broke. (Well, broker). And I’ll be damned if I am going to PAY for an episode of Barney!
The EyeTV Hybrid delivers stunning-quality HDTV to the high-resolution display of your Mac. And because it receives both analog and digital TV, it’s an ideal (and inexpensive) solution for the digital transition. What’s more, EyeTV Hybrid is not just a TV; thanks to the included EyeTV 3 software, it’s also a digital video recorder (DVR) with a comprehensive Program Guide and editing capabilities. It’s a DVR that can put your television recordings on a Mac, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV with one easy click of a button, and can export them for use in other Mac video applications. All this, in one small TV tuner stick.
To enter: Since the Hybrid is all about recording video, leave us a comment below telling us the one show you can’t live without. Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!







Fringe!!!!!!!!!!!!
NCIS rocks.
House MD!
for me, the one show right now is probably top gear, the greatest auto show EVER!
Doctor Who
Oh, this is a hard one. The Simpsons !
Lost, of course. Can’t wait for the season to begin.
Bones
30 Rock!
Tina Fey all the way
Pushing Daisies…whoops, Eureka.
You gotta love the Office, i wish i could bring pam and jim to work with me in my cubical!!! The office is the greatest, and i always have to buy it off of iTunes, with EyeTv i could just record it and have it waiting for me when i got home, so much better!!!! Please pick me Doc!!!
LOST is the best show ever!!
the office
30 Rock.
Battle Star Galactica
Right now?
Ghost Whisperer. Yes, It’s because of Jennifer Love Hewitt. I mean, who doesn’t love Jennifer Love Hewitt? Well, she did get a bit fatter recently i i think. But who cares?! 😀
Yes, i’m shallow sometimes.
Gotta have Life.
CHUCK FTW!!!!
Yet again a hard choice. I’d use it to record the news (can’t watch due to heavy workload at this moment).
But at this moment I’d use if to record “De Slimste Mens van de Wereld” (the smartest man of the world), it’s a funny gameshow that’s running at this moment.
The Unit is my show of choice! Between football and cold case it keeps getting pushed back! Help Macenstein!
Eleventh Hour
FRINGE!!! Cannot miss…
True Blood
House‘s House of whining, state your complaint.
Heros!!!!
no, wait
Doctor Who!!!!!!!!
umm, maybe Stargate,
oh, that’s Stargate Atlantis!!!
Hmmmm,
no
it’s Life on Mars!!!
OK, I’ll go with Doctor Who!
Wait, does this mean I won’t be able to watch the other from now on???? (My wife would like that.)
how i met your mother is the best comedy on television, bar none.
there’s no topping the naked man.
Big Bang Theory!
Top Gear
Scrubs
Two and a 1/2 men
How I Met Your Mother!
how i met your mother
THE BIG BANG THEORY.. Its wicked.
The Office!
kenny vs Spenny
Life… best new show (NBC) with Damian Lewis from Band of Brothers.
Eli Stone!
Lost. Can’t live without Lost.
They’re on the island, they’re off the island.
It doesn’t matter, it’s still awesome.
30 rock, alec baldwin is such an underrated comedic actor.
I think I’ll go with… 24
house is the one show i can live without, but the office is a close second.
Probably Heroes. Although “The Big Bang Theory” is pretty good.
Mythbusters… It’s science and social quirks put to the test. They get to do some freaking cool stuff.
Heroes, the office, and Cold Case…
smallville…… yeah i’m a nerd….
I don’t watch much TV, but it’s hard to decide among all the shows on the History Channel, Discovery, and TLC. I’ll throw 60% of the shows on those channels into a bucket and call it my favorite.
Scratch that — second favorite, to any live broadcast of an MLB game (preferably NL).
without a doubt, 24!
HOUSE.
House
Law & Order and Family Guy…
Kinda weird mix…
