I went ahead and bought another Freecom 25451 from Novatech down the road, and it didn't work. Turns out, the older one is a Revision 3 (USB ID 0x14aa:0x0226) and the new one is Revision 4 (USB ID 0x14aa:0x0160). They look identical from the outside, but R4 does not currently work with EyeTV 3. I'm exchanging it for a Hauppauge Nova-T tomorrow, which is £6 more, but supports EyeTV officially. In other news, EyeTV 3 is still fairly nice to use, but has crashed nastily a few times for me. It seems to have a habit of failing to find shared archives, and then beachballing when the "Share my EyeTV Archive" is switched off and on in an attempt to whack it into gear. I look forward to EyeTV 3.0.1. Following up...

I'm not sure whether this is new to EyeTV 3, but it certainly didn't work last time I tried... I plugged in my old EyeTV USB for DTT (a Cinergy Terratec T2), and a Freecom 25451 (appears as a Miglia TV Mini) and it worked fine (albeit slowly) on my iBook. The Freecom ones are only £22 inc. VAT at the shop round the corner, so I think I'll be picking up another one tomorrow morning, giving me two tuners for recording on the Mac Mini, and one for casual channel-hopping on my iBook. I can then watch the recordings on the iBook remotely over the network. It seems to work fine with two different tuners, as well.
