“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!
I will never record any version of “Survivor”
Knight Rider
The Elgato will never record Fox News. EVER.
Oprah
Somebody else has said it but “The Hills” for sure!!!!
BBC One’s Eastenders, isn’t everyone depressed enough already?!
Law and Order OR CSI. Please die already!
Rock of Love.
Never.
Coronation Street.
Go Canada!
The Hills
I will never record American Idol.
those silly “reality” shows they keep shooting at us. It was special & new 8 years ago, now we really have seen it all, please bring us some serious entertainment 🙂
Wife Swap
Hells Kitchen – So the guy yells allot, if I wanted that I Would go to my moms house.
American Idol … yawn …
Ok, I am going to have to add another vote for anything on Fox News.
Hard to narrow down. Pretty much every reality tv show. I guess that’s 95% of all shows out there, then.
All Reality TV Shows.
All “Love Boat” episodes
Barney
Everybody Loves Raymond
George Lopez
I love New York
I was having a hard time thinking of the worst but knight Rider would probably be number 1
Any “Reality TV”
The Hills
Big brother
American Idol
I would say… Grey’s Anatomy!
There’s actually something good worth recording these days?? I’d use the eyeTV to convert the old VHS tapes. Maybe record something on the History Channel.
rock of love
TV – all of it. I took part in my alma mater’s “Kill Your Television Day” and I haven’t looked back.
Go outside! (With your Mac, of course.)
Let me see, for the win…! Knight Rider or if it rhymes, Kite Sliders…
Also, my eye tv will never ever record anything from Oxygen or Lifetime, or Hallmark, etc…
Heroes, for all it’s gaping plot holes and annoying “drama” mixed with bad acting and worse writing.
Rock of Love Charm School looks pretty awful, though I haven’t actually seen it.
Anything MTV. Anything.
Big brother
American Idol
The hills
MTV… any program…
QVC FTW.
I imagine if my fiance can get to any show for free, she’d ruin my track record… gotta go w/ the ‘sure’ thing :D.
I don’t really watch TV, because I have a last Century TV that hurts my eyes. But I heard that Gossip Girl sucks.
Well, now, this would be an easy decision. For all I was looking forward to the rebooted KNIGHT RIDER, it certainly hasn’t lived up to its potential.
Attack of the Show.
Sorry guys… but ever since G4 took over TechTV, its been in a downward spiral ever since. =(
The Lawrence Welk Show
Have to agree with new Knight Rider. A series that should never have been made. The Hoff is the only Michael Knight ;p
The Hills… It’s just pointless…
Sponge bob
Cops
Absolutely… WIFE SWAP!
Barney
Big Brother
