We had no trouble flicking straight to BBC HD and making a few test recordings. Once past that little hurdle the EyeTV Sat works well, although it does have some important limitations. Novices attracted by the lure of the free-to-air BBC HD channel – and the occasional episode of The Bill on ITV HD – might get lost at this point, so Elgato needs to provide a little more help for those who don’t have a monthly subscription to What Satellite? We knew from previous reviews of satellite devices that Freesat uses the Astra 2 satellite at 28.2-degrees East, so it was no trouble for us to quickly select that satellite and then wait for about 15 minutes while the EyeTV Sat scanned for available channels. They simply provide a pull-down menu listing the name of every satellite they can find, without giving any indication of the channels or services available from each satellite. Unfortunately, neither program gives you any help locating specific satellite services, such as Freesat, here in the UK.
