"Hi Mike, I've put online a review of thelatest version of EyeTV software tested with Terratec Hybrid TS, the first USB 2.0 device that allows you to receive Analog and Digital Terrestrial channels without switching tuners on the Mac. This is a fantastic product for europeans and for people living and traveling in other countries who are going through the (slow) transition from analog broadcasting to digital terrestrial broadcasting.
The review has screenshots of every window of EyeTV and tries to explain how it works with iPod, S-video signal, other TV tuners from Miglia and Elgato.

" ViaVoice tip
I have a work around for ViaVoice on 10.4 and above, simply go to your preferences and turn on Speakable Items! and set your microphone to your headset (Plantronics USB, in my case.) this seemed to solve the problem for me, ViaVoice now works like a charm with no problems or hang ups...
if you turn off Speakable Items it stops working and hangs up again...
Hope this Tip helps someone else. Good luck!

Another reader replied to this post suggesting ViaVoice owners instead try enabling Access for Assistive Devices in the Universal Access preference panel.
