Have you ever wished that your TV screen was as good as your Mac Monitor?  Have you ever wished that you could watch TV while you are sitting at your Mac working while every one else is watching the television?

 

Well you don’t have to wish anymore.  Media Atlantic UK an online IT, audio, video and gaming retailer are introducing into their range the AverTV Volar M with accompanying AverTV for Mac to enable television viewing on your Mac.

 

How does it work?  Well the best way to describe it is that it’s a white USB stick which acts as a TV Digital Freeview receiver. It will work on any Mac with an Intel Core processor and has an extending cable for ease of use.

 

Everyone loves the ipod, well here a piece of technology that is just as clever and I am betting will be just as popular. The Aver TV for Mac will let you record, rewind, pause, and fast-forward live TV. If you live or work in an area broadcasting HDTV then you can benefit from it displaying 720p/1080i HDTV (MPEG-2 format).


The on screen menu will allow you to switch channels, record programs, take screenshots, or check what’s on later. You can even use it with your Apple Remote and it has a nifty little function which allows you to preserve all your favourite scenes with its screenshot function.  This gadget is an absolute must have, especially when you find out how much it costs.  Coming in at just under £40.00 it’s an amazing bargain.  Imagine how great you favourite TV programmes will look, especially if you have just bought the 30” LED cinema display.
