EyeTV

Currently researching products for recording TV programs and then streaming them around the house to various devices. I have come across a product for OSX called "EyeTV" and it looks awesome. Basically, the interface looks more or less identical to iTunes and has the ability to automatically place recordings made into a shared iTunes library for accessing around the house and even more cool, is the fact that it can make recordings available in Safari for devices such as the iTouch / iPhone to stream wirelessly! 

There are different products available, (i.e. Freeview or Digital Satellite) and there is even one with dual tuners so one can record either two different programs simultaneously or record one and view another. I think the setup for me will be a Mac Mini and EyeTV dual tuner setup at the "nerve" centre (the software will even power up the computer when a recording is scheduled) together with either a network storage device, or large USB device plugged into something like Apple's Airport Extreme for sharing the storage (and also providing Wireless-n for iTouch devices etc.). 

You can even log on to the device via the web to program it- nice! The system is very similar to Sky+ obviously, however the problem with Sky+ is that there is no way to stream its content anywhere around the home. You therefore need to watch the recordings in the room where they were made.
