Delivery by suppliers took place in a flash: ordered Friday afternoon, Saturday morning was because the package. Super Power!
Setting Netstream Box for Mac OS: a disaster! And then I am referring especially with my vote.
Installation of the software ran eyeTV still without problems, but the Netstream Box could not be reached on the network for my Mac. As a network device, it was shown in the management of my FritzBox 7390, was pinged, ports were reached, but a browser (Firefox, Safari) not to take or eyeTV. Hours of searching the Inet and the Elgato forums for possible solutions followed. And I've tried a lot and changed in settings, reboot and do the executioner something. Eventually it worked but then, but due to the long Herumprobiererei I can not even find reliable, what it has actually located.
The box will now work on my Mac Mini, but the path to it was pure coincidence.
Trying to get to work my iPad with the box, failed again (for now). Here I gave up after 3 more hours and a ticket at the Elgato Support - filed (> San Francisco). Perhaps the answer yes, then in 2-4 days.
I dread to think what will happen if I try to talk to my MacBook the box.
Of the previously made first experiences with Elgato products (also EyeTV DTT USB key) I am absolutely disappointed with the whole package. Probably the Netstream Box will fall in a few days so well

I have not given up.
Contrary to expectations, my MacBook had no problems with the access to the Netstream Box ;-)
But iPad and iPhone did not find any channels, although in their browser the channel list could be displayed. Speaking browser: as soon as I tried to access with Firefox on the box, this depended on to speak also on MacMini and MacBook no TV reception was possible. Box reboot (power off / on) again corrected the condition. This was then probably the reason for the recent problems. Before the box was only accessible by Safari with Bonjour.
More Searching the Internet brought then eventually the Note to check the firmware of the box and update.
Came the box with FW version 1.0.0. With Elgato version 1.1.4 could be downloaded. And this update seems to solve all the problems:
- IPad & iPhone now have TV reception
- Firefox can also access the box via [...] now and you will never die here
Thus, the box does now that for which it has been applied. Why Elgato update the firmware is not compulsory in the installation routines by receiving, is beyond me. It has given me three days and Herumsucherei -probiererei that were unnecessary.
The product review I have raised to 2 stars. More I do not consider justified because of support from Elgato has not been reported to me and for me the crucial evidence comes not from them but from desperate users posting in other forums.
Elgato's only contribution was the possibility to download the latest firmware.
