I did a forum search and didn't see anything.

Basically, I want to know if EyeTV streams are pretty decent. I'm used to Slingbox streams.

Current Setup to be tossed...
RCN Cable HD
Tivo Series 3
Slingbox classic
Mac Mini 2009
--
New Setup ( OTA HD TV )
Mac Mini 2009
Elegato something...

Why are you ditching Slingbox?

I use an EyeTV DTT Deluxe and the quality is excellent, even with the stock aerial. Although, recently it's started to lose connection (this could be because of its location though - the error is "no signal" when there normally is).

ditching slingbox

I don't travel as much as I used to
I'm getting old and should be more active
I should watch less TV
I'm going to give up 40 bucks a month for TV that I should watch and just go with 10M or 20M Internet.

Since I am ditching the Tivo, I didn't think the Slingbox would work with a mac mini.

...and apparently I should be on a couch talking to you
