EyeTV vs Terratec Home Cinema

A while ago I bought an EyeTV hybrid for my MacMini. Quite nice device, and especially I liked the (mac) software included. Very nice, particularly the recording, cutting and exporting video features.

Now, the MacMini is all dead since a few weeks ago and I try to replace it with a Windows 7 PC. It works quite well, but Terratec Home Cinema (included with the Hybrid, for Windows userse) is so inferior compared to EyeTV. Especially the Cut! program is unstable, unpolished, and does not support exporting to any other formats than the original MPEG2. Luckily Handbrake does that job very well.

In this case, quality of software makes the difference between a fantastic product for the Mac, and a quite average product for the PC.
