The ability of the EyeTV Hybrid to receive and record FM is another nifty addition. Along with the guide, the new EyeTV 3.1 software now lets users record seasons of shows using the Smart Series Guide feature. After the year is up, the guide information will cost $20, which isn't too steep. One year of free service is included for new users of the EyeTV 3 software, but the company has thoughtfully included a free year for existing EyeTV 3 users as well. One of the biggest new features is that the device now supports the TV Guide electronic programming guide. The 2008 version of the EyeTV Hybrid made the most recent Staff Gift Guide, and things are only getting better in 2009.
