“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 18
[Thank you, we have a winner. This contest is now closed. Congratulation to faithful MAcenstein reader jonasr!]
On the Eighteenth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A EyeTV 250 Plus from Elgato!
I’ve got one of these hooked to a Mac mini and I love it. EyeTV 250 Plus is a hybrid TV tuner for the Mac with a powerful hardware encoder for higher quality recordings and smaller sized video files. EyeTV 250 Plus receives free-to-air HDTV, analog TV, and Clear QAM unencrypted digital cable. EyeTV 250 Plus is also a perfect solution for converting videos from VHS tape to DVD-Video.
And of course the 250 ships with Elgato’s awesome EyeTV 3 software which allows you to watch and record TV on your Mac, rewind, fast forward, and pause live TV, search the Program Guide using detailed criteria (USA only), create TV series subscriptions with Smart Guides removing commercials, and export to iPods and iPhone with a click.
To enter: During our last Elgato giveaway we asked you tell us your favorite TV show. This time, we want to know the WORST show on TV. So tell us, if you win, what is the one show you will NEVER record using the EyeTV 250? (Hint, hopefully it rhymes with Knight Rider). 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!

Any reality TV show or anything made by MTV. I’ve never seen anything else that’s epitomized the degradation of Western civilization more.
Pretty much anything that falls into the ‘reality tv’ category I think.
Barney, definitely Barney. Teletubbies, too. Okay, 80% of kids programming on today is crap.
In fact, other than Sesame Street, I won’t watch any of those shows. This message brought to by the letters M, A and C.
