“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!
Lost
can’t wait to understand what the black smoke is
Any daytime soap
Kath and Kim…bad
that show about guy best friends
i think it is called Bromance or Brojobs, something like that
unnecessary crap, we are in a time of depression, they should be making more comedies. This reality TV is a crappy waste.
I will never ever record any reality show featuring Flavor Flave, Brett Michaels or any of their groupies. To me it’s all just one horrible television show.
I will never record Grey’s Anatomy.
Love live Scrubs!
Kite Fighter.
that show with paris hilton
Anything on MTV. They should change the chanel name to RBRTV (Really Bad Reality TV) since there is no music on MTV…
Oprah. Ugh!
The Pick Up Artest. The only thing it’s good for is hilarious clips on The Soup.
Anything “reality show” related – apart from American Idol as my GF likes it…
The View
The Hills
The evening news.
President Bush’s State of the Union Addresses.
Two and a Half Men. for me as well.
I’ve recenenly started reading Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series, I’m 3 books in to it. It’s pretty good!
So, I checked out the Legend of the Seeker. Yup, I saw the warnings that ‘They had to make adjustments to fit the TV format.’ But I watched anyways.
Big mistake. The main characters have the same names as the book; that’s about as close as it comes to following the story. Other than that I didn’t really recognize a single event, dialog, or character. Blech.
Survivor
Gomer Pyle
Big Brother Australia, so bad it was finally canceled last year.
50 cents tv show
HORRIBLE (well so is his music)
any dancing show
I absolutely can’t stand the so called reality show Survivor so I wouldn’t ever record it.
Any show that involves anyone of any religion trying to swindle money out of morons or tell everyone how to live their lives.
Reality TV. Any of it. (blech)
Fear Factor.
reality shows
The Mole
i do solemnly swear to never record dawsons creek
parental control, if you’ve seen you it would know why……
koken met piet
(a flemish kooking program with a tiny bald little creep i can’t stand)
90210
that CBS morning show
The Sweet Life of Zack and Cody
Any kind of Soaps… I can’t stand soap operas.
Desperate Housewives
Heroes….ugghh!
Fox News
Anything with whining in it, which is unfortunately, a LOT of shows.
I’d say Knight Rider, but that’s a little like shooting fish in a barrel. Slow, dumb fish in a barrel.
So I’m going with reality TV. 🙂
The Hills
How I met your mother……
Knight Rider.
The new version sucks!
Any reality TV.
I have to agree with the MTV comments.
Benny Hill (I have been teased enough by this show! Never Again!)
Big Brothers
Anything that’s on MTV is unwatchable.
Anything with the Wayan Bros. in it.
