![]() ![]() Although, as previously discussed - most of these devices don't actually seem to be purchasable. (OK, I guess it would probably be safer to go with something Elgato lists as tested to work.) A lot of the devices listed there actually look to be Syabas-based devices from above, in which case I should actually be able to just get the device if I wanted and wouldn't need EyeConnect. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like any of these are still being supported by their manufacturer, and since my EyeHome died, I'm not thinking too highly of going with something based on the same technology.Ī UPnP-AV Based Alternative with EyeConnectĪ second alternative to consider would being getting the EyeConnect software from Elgato and whatever UPnP-AV supporting hardware I want. The advantage of going with a Syabas based replacement is that I think it could pretty much be in a "drop-in" replacement (very little work on my part). Googling a couple of them though, I couldn't find any that are actually still being sold (just like the EyeHome and the two above). ![]() Wizd looks to be an open source project to provide an alternative to the default software that comes with these devices (in my case, the "EyeHome software"). Some other products that would probably also work (which are listed as having Syabas middleware) are listed on the features page of the Wizd project. Like the EyeHome and LinkPlayer 2, it doesn't seem like this product is being actively sold anymore either I can't find any retailers selling it, nor can I even find any on eBay. ![]() New-in-box ones seem to regularly show up on eBay though where they fetch about $170, including shipping.) Like the EyeHome, it doesn't seem like this product is being actively sold anymore either Can't find a retailer with them in stock. (This blogger did a setup with a LinkPlayer 2 and EyeTV 500.) Other vendors have produced their own Syabas-based products such as: The EyeHome is basically an Elgato-packaged version of hardware and software made by Syabas. I could do something very similar to a new EyeHome though. (And even if they hadn't, I'm not inclined to buy more hardware from Elgato given that the EyeHome died on me in under three years.). Getting a new EyeHome is out of the question. I'm writing this post as I consider alternatives to replace my dead EyeHome. As I blogged about earlier, my Elgato EyeHome died. ![]()
