Today is cable tv cut off day in our house ! Final preparations have been going on over the weekend - in between kids hockey - and I have installed the final RF cable to route new OTA antenna, via a splitter, to my basement equipment room so that we can watch the Stanley Cup playoffs on the projection TV. Pulling the cable was the biggest pain - a sore arm and a lot of swearing later and I have it fed through the basement ceiling cavity so it is invisible for my wife. I connected it up to the EyeTV One and installed the s/w on the Mac mini. Boom, 12 channels tuned in and worked perfectly. I am hoping that when my RF amp arrives I can take this to 14, but time will tell. I have not set up the PVR functionality yet (no time last night) but I can watch HD CBC so we're good for the playoffs.
I'll get the PVR set up soon and report in more detail on the progress... and life without cable TV.
