Also included is a short user guide, two EyeTV/Terratec activation key cards, a flyer for the new turbo.264 HD encoder and a CDROM containing the EyeTV and Terratec HomeCinema software. Accompanying the Netstream hardware is a small tilt antenna (with a magnetic suction cup base), a 5V power adapter and a short length of CAT5. Like the DTT Deluxe reviewed previously, the Netstream comes with everything* you need in the box.

While there is no doubt about how good the Netstream looks from afar, the build quality can only be described as impeccable and even the eagle eyed observer would find it hard to pick a fault with the unit’s build at any distance. The bottom also has four rubber stoppers to keep things steady and a small mounting hole for wall mounting the unit. The whole unit is labelled with a single eyeTV logo on the top and a the Elgato branding on its bottom. Frok left to right, the rear panel features an Ethernet port, a standard antenna port, a small recessed reset button and a 5V DC in, power port. Wrapped around the Netstream’s flat edge is an elegant black stripe which opens up towards the rear of the unit to reveal the unit’s connection panel. The unit is mostly silver in colour with both its top and bottom covered in an almost metallic, silver plastic finish. Like the DTT Deluxe we reviewed last year, the physical appearance of the Netstream is extremely neat. If Elgato haven’t got the patent on neat, they should look at heading down to the local patent office ASAP.

Inside its tiny 12 x 12 x 2.5cm casing are two HTDV tuners and enough technological voodoo to push both signals out via a Mbit Ethernet port.Ĭoupled with the included EyeTV (Mac) and Terratec HomeCinema (Windows) software, the Netstream DTT allows two separate users the ability to watch (or record) up to two different HDTV broadcasts on any Windows or Mac computer connected to their local network. The EyeTV Netstream DTT is for all intents and purposes, a set top box, without the set top. Read on for our review of the EyeTV Netstream DTT

Not only have Elgato added Windows functionality to their formerly Mac only offerings, but with the release of the Netstream DTT, Elgato have created a box which effectively shares HDTV across a local network. It’s been nearly two years since we reviewed Elgato’s EyeTV DTT Deluxe and as expected, Egato have not been napping.
