You want to enjoy your favorite TV shows on your Mac, iPhone or iPod? Then you should get TubeStick hybrid. The newly announced USB TV receiver allows you to watch, pause and record live television on your Mac in HD quality. TubeStick hybrid has two built-in receivers, enabling you to watch free-to-air digital HDTV (ATSC) as well as digital (QAM) and analog (NTSC) cable television. In areas with ATSC, reception can be picked up by the antenna, in HD quality. The TubeStick hybrid has a white, minimalist design and is one of the smallest devices in its class.

For those who prefer to enjoy TheTube with the volume all the way down, Closed Captioning is now supported. Many stations broadcast captions in multiple languages. The Tube allows for easy switching between all the available captions offered. Just click and read - that's it.

The Tube 2.6 automatically updates the electronic program guide (EPG) twice a day and therefore always provides users with the latest TV listings. To open the application to third-party providers of TV listings, The Tube now has a new plug-in structure to allow users to choose between different television guides.

The Tube was the first Mac application that supported the open XMLTV standard for TV listings. The Tube 2.6 can also handle automatic XMLTV-updates in the same way like TV listings via DTT (DVB-T). Learn more

The Tube turns your iPhone into a mobile TV set and a remote control. The Tube, with the integrated TubeToGo service, lets you automatically publish your TV recordings in a web gallery, manage them via iPhone and remotely schedule recordings with an EPG.

With the integrated webservice TubeToGo you can have total control over your television recordings, even when you're not at home. You can publish and watch recordings all from the comfort of your iPhone or iPod touch. TubeToGo supports .Mac or any preferred FTP-server. Learn more

The Tube helps you to select the currently most popular TV shows. As soon as you tell The Tube 'Watch Top Channel', the application will follow the channel with the most viewers. When the majority of The Tube viewers switch to another program, The Tube will also change.

See the percentage of viewers currently watching a particular TV program in your channel list in realtime! You can then join that channel's discussion with our TubeTalk feature. Just click on the bubble next to the name of the TV channel and take part in the most popular television programs. The bubble will twinkle as soon as someone sends a new message to your active TubeTalk chat.

Would you like to have your TV running in the background and only tune in from time to time? The Tube has an intelligent smart zoom feature - just move your mouse over your minimized TV window and The Tube will automatically zoom in. As soon as you move your mouse outside of the TV window, The Tube window shrinks to its original size and position.

TubeTalk is a lot of fun. With The Tube 2.6 TubeTalk is getting better: now The Tube indicates who has currently signed in and what other users are doing.
