The TVMax from Miglia Technology is a groundbreaking digital video recorder that complements the Mac mini perfectly. Touted as the ultimate analogue TV and video recording solution for all Mac users, it allows you to watch TV in a window or full screen glory, in addition to converting VHS tapes to DVD format and recording shows in MPEG 2, MPEG 4, and DivX formats. You can even export to the iPod video format with the inclusion of the EyeTV 2.0 software. The inclusion of an infrared remote control completes the viewing experience and allows you to archive TV programs on a single DVD with its on-board hardware compressor without straining your CPU. You can purchase it online or at retail stores for $249 (€249 or £169). More specs after the jump.
