Elgato Systems, makers of EyeTV, offers a nice online explanation of how their product works with Apple’s new Apple TV:
• EyeTV puts your TV recordings into iTunes: With EyeTV, watch television on your Mac and record TV shows directly to your hard drive. EyeTV has an easy “iPod Button” to export EyeTV recordings into iTunes, where they automatically appear under “TV Shows.” This puts your own content on your iPod, and now, your live TV recordings on Apple TV.
• Apple TV puts your iTunes content on TV: When an Apple TV is connected, iTunes automatically detects and synchs with it. That way, your Apple TV box always contains the latest content from iTunes, including the EyeTV recordings you exported there. Apple TV puts that content onto your widescreen TV.
Elgato is working to integrate Apple TV and EyeTV even further and invites Mac users to join their mailing list to be notified of future enhancements.
The company also offers two QuickTime demo videos:
1. How to use EyeTV’s iPod button to add your recordings to iTunes
2. How to send new EyeTV recordings to iTunes automatically

I’d like to address a few things from some of the comments here.
WiseGuy posts that all HD devices will require DRM chips to handle HDCP in the future. This is not wholly accurate. HDCP is required for content-protected streams sent over HDMI and DVI only.
It has nothing to do with broadcast HD, or other connectors. HD can be conducted over component, remember.
The US Congress has repeatedly rejected bills that require a ‘broadcast flag’ that allow content producers to flag content as not-recordable.
And lastly, the Miglia TVMax+ is the only tuner device for Macintosh that records in MP4 directly – which is a format used by the AppleTV.
This means, you can record with a TVMax+ in the default format (for AppleTV) and as soon as you’re done recording you can select the recording in the scheduled recordings window, click File>Add to iTunes, and it’s ready. No long conversion process, no waiting, just record and let the software do what amounts to copying a file from one folder to the iTunes library, and it’s done. Nearly instantly.
