The EyeTV HD USB box is a DVR for your Mac which features component video and RCA audio inputs on the back, and connects to a cable- or satellite set-top box and rips video to H.264. Input runs up to 1080i (and 720p), as does output, and there’s one more trick. The box can simultaneously lay down iPhone and iPad-friendly video formats which you can either throw into iTunes to watch later, or stream direct to the device. An IR blaster takes care of the controls, while a $5 app lets you control and watch live TV over 3G or Wi-Fi.

The long anticipated merging of web with TV has finally arrived. The Logitech box will house an Intel Atom processor and will integrate with any HDTV and set-top box to bring the Google TV experience to your house, complete with a specialized Harmony remote that packs a keyboard, remote control, and touchpad. The Logitech companion box has all the technology of Logitech’s $400 Harmony 900 remote and extends it to your handset (e.g. Nexus One and iPhone) over WiFi. Several scrollable pages of dedicated buttons let that particular iPhone control not only the Google browser but also a Samsung TV, Onkyo receiver and TiVo set top box. The box have an optional RF keyboard/touchpad (available at launch), and a pair of USB ports in back allow users to connect dongles for 2.4GHz peripherals. In addition to standard Google TV functions, Logitech said the box would come with a 1080p video chat solution called Vid.
