Windows 7 can’t take a screen shot of a full-screen video overlay, so first here is a shot of PBS in a window. I tuned to a couple of HD channels and verified that both 720p and 1080i HDTV works fine. The EyeTV remote is fully supported under WMC and, assuming you can see the dongle itself with the remote, works fine from normal “couch” distance of 6-10 feet. Very promising! Continuing on for another few setup screens finally leads to victory: This is showing that, when plugged into my very large HDTV antenna coax cable (we’ll get back to that at the end, I promise!) WMC and the EyeTV agree that they can see lots of HDTV over the air channels.

Fire up WMC and it will walk you through the configuration for your TV source. After a while, Windows will tell you it’s ready to use.
