I just got my 2009 Elgato Hybrid (I have the first Hybrid which lacked a QAM tuner and an FM tuner, both features being enough to convince me to upgrade).
First off, anyone ever gotten a DOA Hybrid. When you install and run the 2.5.3 software the setup wants you to connect your device before continuing at one point. Well, it recognizes the older Hybrid but not the new one. That leads to my second and third questions...
Does the 2009 Hybrid only work with the 3.0 software? If so, can you have both software packages installed on the same machine? I've heard mixed reviews about the 3.0 software so I figured I'd just stick with 2.5.3 for the meantime since it's stable and has never given me trouble.
Maybe I have to install 3.0 software for the new hybrid which will kind of dissapoint me, given you have to eventually pay for the "guide" info in that software I've heard.
Thanks for any advice...
