They capture the original bitstream (bit for bit identical to the source) and then offline re-encode the content using variable bitrate/multipass (software) encoders. OTOH You are using a realtime hardware encoder which takes the...

As a follow up-it would be totally feasible for Elgato to support the HDHomeRun cablecard tuner and allow you to stream/record encrypted but flagged copy freely channels, however they have intentionally not done this. It should be...

1. No because OSX does not and likely never will support the CA/DRM required to handle protected premium channel content. 2. EyeTV does not and likely never will support tuning adapters since they are pretty much tied to cablecard...
