EL Gato is way overrated I have owned several EL Gato products including a stream deck, a capture card and most recently the Wave 3 microphone. At one time paying a little more for EL Gato products seemed like a good choice, but with my experience it has not been the case. Over time all of the above products let me down with compatibility issues during software updates and poor tech support. The wave 3 sound quality become so bad I just got rid of it after less than a year of use. I tried everything, wasted a lot of time and in the end it just didn't do the job. That's kind of been my experience with all EL Gato products. Sad but true. I wouldn't buy from them again.

These products just work! I've bought both the Elgato Turbo.264 HD and the EyeTV Hybrid (analog, DVB-C/T tuner). It is so easy to get started with and the tv software delivers a better image than my STB. The converter works just as well, and the whole integration with iTunes is just awesome. I can fast and easily record tv, automatically encode and export to iTunes which then synchronizes with my AppleTV. The EyeTV App for the iPhone works just as great! Bottomline is .. These products rock!

Such a pain in the a-se! Video capture: When it works it's great, but often for no reason there's just 'no signal' and only sound. Closing everything down might get it working again, but when one VHS tape gives 'no signal' (no picture) then this carries over to other videos as well so you don't know what videos are good and what are bad. For the cost of this product it needs some serious sorting out and debugging.

Ordered direct from Elgato. Wrong colour shipped. Still chasing the refund 14 days after returning product Ordered direct from Elgato. Wrong colour product shipped. Notified them immediately. Took 10 days to respond. Offered for me to send it back and then they'd send a new one. I asked for refund and they agreed. Issued RMA number. Sent back via a tracked UPS service. Didn't get a receipt from newsagent, but can see on the weblink that it was delivered back and signed for. 14 days since it was returned to them, the support team are still saying they cannot issue a refund without a photo of the paper receipt from the newsagent (that I was never given). The experience with this company has been so poor I will never shop with them again. Try their rivals instead and never buy direct from them - they are not setup to provide end customer satisfaction.

I bought the El Gato Video Capture less… I bought the El Gato Video Capture less than a year ago used it about 3 times and it stopped working. I contacted customer support and for 89.00 they have been giving me the run around for over a month. I have complied with their 10-step analysis process to see what is wrong with the software and to this date, there is no resolution. This is the worst case of customer service I have ever had—no offer to replace it with a new product or refund. Just email after email and it seems like Im communicating with a Bot half the time. They just want me to give up to wipe me off the list. The product was a huge waste of money and time. Also when you call the customer service number no one ever picks up.
