I have very knidly been given an EyeTV Hybrid, unfortunately it was purchased in the US. Does anyone know if I will be able to make it work in NZ?

As far as I'm aware, it lacks the hardware required for non-US signals. I don't believe that it's possible to use it in NZ at all :(

The EyeTV will be expecting NTSC channels rather than the PAL ones that we have here.
