“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!
SEINFELD
The Real Housewives of Orange County (or Atlanta, or NYC, or wherever they come up with next). The “problems’ they have makes you want to puke.
Look-A-Like
Please don’t ever make me watch that show.
…next top anything…
My Mother is a Car
All of the Medical and Law dramas. If aliens are receiving our TV signals, they would have to believe all people in our civilization are either lawyers or doctors!
It rhymes with Knife Hop.
Soap Operas (any one of them)
Momma’s boy… lame!
I don’t even know if mtv plays it anymore.. but jackass was certainly never a favorite of mine
Tremors: The Series
bromance
Rock of Love
Real Housewives of Orange County
MTV. It is pretty much one big commercial but still, that should count as a show.
teletubbies
Firefly…
but only because it’s not on anymore 🙁
American Idol
Bigbrother
close tie: Maury or Jerry Springer!
Survivor
Big Brother
Tyra, *cough* or Oprah, can’t decide which scares me more.
Rock Of Love
Anything on The Outdoor Channel…fishing is NOT a spectator sport!
Anything on the Military Channel… or as my Dad calls it “The Hitler Channel” 😉
Anything on Fox News.
Sorry, but it’s got to be any cooking show with Paula Dean. Apparently the laws of physics cease to exist on her stove because she cooks with nothing but butter, cream, lard, bacon fat, salt, and oil and yet she’s still alive.
I agree with the new Knight Rider, but Super Sweet Sixteen comes in a close second.
Well yeah. You’re right…. Knight Rider (new and reruns)
The new 90210 show
Definitely Family Guy.
Big Brother, sucks!!!!!
All the reality shows that people with NO talent try to show they have talent to the judges and then cry when told they have no talent.
ophra
any reality show
Any of those reality shows with Idol or Dance somewhere in their name.
any reality show.
Lost!!…. I think they got loast with the story, I’m so confused now…
90210
Survivor
Simple, non-English or Mandarin shows…
Phenomenon
Survivor
THE HILLS!!!
