    I have the original .dmg from when I purchased the software in 2024, but this forum no longer allows links to be posted, so I have no idea how I could get it to you. Also, since I've never subscribed to any EPG service (i just use the over-the-air DVB-T guide), I have no idea whether the error message would be in German in my build if I could trigger that error anyway. Does it matter? Just copy and paste the text into Google Translate if you want to know what it says. Even then, there's nothing you can do about it, Geniatech is no longer supporting or developing this product.

    EricL Just take a look at the most recent forum updates here as this may be your issue. I had EyeTV running fine on Sequioa and then an update broke it. My issue was to do with gatekeeper/expired certs (as the app is no longer being developed). All down to mac OS becoming more like iOS It can be easily fixed by using Sentinel to self-sign the cert (Google 'sentinel macupdate'), but I wasn't sure what Sentinel did and didn't want to install something else into the mix and so got it sorted by running commands in terminal instead. First you need to remove the quarantine attribute from the downloaded dmg using xattr. The command should be: xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/your_file.dmg Install the dmg Next bit is for removing old cert from the app and installing a self-signed cert: The below is taken from another forum for OpenSCAD program that was also broke from mac updates. You just need to change the app name to the EyeTV name showing when you use finder to view the application in the applications folder...not at home so can't quote the app name directly {possibly EyeTV.app} The below "removes the signature of the app and then self-signs it then solved the problem for OpenSCAD 2021.01" codesign --remove-signature /Applications/OpenSCAD.app codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/OpenSCAD.app I have a second machine (also on Sequoia) and it never had had EyeTV running on it previously. I installed as above and it runs perfectly I know that my issue was with Sequoina, but I have seen the other guys on here have eyeTV running fine in Tahoe

    Update: Loaded the 3528 version from the web and now it works. BUT... 1. channel list is gone 2. setup assistant can't connect to my set top box, there is no way to make it see the box and control it 3. my script i set up to load the xml tv listings builds the xml fil but the application does not see it, and I am not sure how to point the application to the file!

    I JUST bought a new Imac running Tahoie and EyeTV 4 crashes instantly on me Any tips to get it going, Deleted old software, and .plists from the old Mac that I ported over from.

    EyeTV 4 crashes immediately on Imac running Tahoe I just bought a new Imac (after 10 years). My old Imac runs both EyeTV 3 and 4 just fine, Bought the new machine and the software (ported from the old Mac) will not even start. Just crashes immdiately. V3 is not compatible anyway, so I deleted both applications and any .plists from the library. Downloaded new software and it still will not even start, Anyone have any suggestions? I have been using thus system since 2005 in one form or another. would hate to lose it,

    Hi Gnyffe I assume that when you get an error (eg EPC lic expiry) it is all in English. Is your dmg available to download from the internet somewhere? Cheers

    I have one. EyeTV4.0.0_8532

    OldSkool That's where I have been. If you click on one of the build numbers it takes you to a page where the heading is in English, but you'll notice that the text below is in German. Downloading will install in English, but when you get an error (EPG license expired etc) will be displayed in German. Was hoping that someone may have an old dmg download somewhere when the site was active and being serviced from maybe around year and a half ago or so.

    I provided a link to all the MacOS builds in English above, in my post dated March 23, 2025. It seems if I try to post that link again, I get a message saying my post needs to be approved by a Moderator - which will never happen because Geniatech has abandoned this forum and EyeTV. So look at the link above. My EPG error messages are in English - namely "Update failed (could not connect to server)" Manual EPG updating using over-the-air DVB-T guide still works. Go to the "Built-In Guide" (click "Program Guide" in the left pane of the EyeTV window, else click ⌘-G). Once that is selected, right-click while the mouse pointer is still hovering over "Program Guide". A submenu will appear, click "Update DVB Program Guide". EyeTV will then scan all the DVB-T channels in sequence and update the guide. Unfortunately, there is no direct menu command or keyboard shortcut to activate this. You now have to do it manually periodically.

    MacOS 26 (Tahoe) supports Rosetta, and EyeTV 4 still works (I know, because I upgraded to Tahoe once others here confirmed it still worked). MacOS 27 will likely still support Rosetta, and EyeTV 4 should continue to work. But MacOS 28 is likely to abandon support for Rosetta, and EyeTV 4 will die at that point. The odds of Geniatech rebuilding the code to work natively on Apple Silicon at that point is 0.00001%.

    Yep I noticed this too. The final successful update was on 19 October 2025. Since that date, we get the Update failed (could not connect to server) error. Geniatech appears to be slowly abandoning anything to do with EyeTV. They certainly will never update the software ever again (even though they still sell v4.0.0 (8532) which was released in 2020). We are lucky they at least made it as far as a 64-bit version that runs on Apple Silicon, and that it still works on MacOS Tahoe (26). But at some point, a MacOS update will break EyeTV and that will be that. Over-the-air DVB-T guide updates within EyeTV still work.

    Slightly off topic guys - apologies. I did 'try' and create a new topic back in early Dec, but it has still not been approved to be displayed on the forum (it did have a screenshot attached to it)...most possibly there is no longer anyone from geniatech that moderates the forum....so.... English version of eyetv 4.0.0 (8532) (64-bit) MAC version has expired EPG error messages in German I need to re-download eyetv 4 macOS - eyetv 4.0.0 (8532) (64-bit) MAC version in English as I had lost my original dmg file and even though English is selected in the Download section when you click on the hyperlink for 'eyetv 4.0.0 (8532) (64-bit) MAC version' it takes you to a page that is in German. If you download this dmg it installs in English, but any error messages within the software whilst in use (expired EPG message for example, or error updaing EPG etc.) are displayed in German?!? Does anyone have an actual English dmg for version 4.0.0 (8532) or can direct me to the correct page that contains it.

    Thanks for being "brave" and updating your MacOS. I have been delaying my update to Tahoe for precisely this reason - if EyeTV ever stopped working under a new MacOS then I'd be devastated. So I always defer OS upgrades and wait until someone else has done it, and now I'm going to take the plunge 😁

    I had the same question, wanting to keep EyeTV 3 on my Apple Mac M1 (EyeTV 4 editing "capabilities" are a nightmare). So I asked this question to Mistral AI : "Can Parallels run a Mojave virtual machine on Sequoia on an Apple Mac M1?" Mistral short answer is NO, with more details below :

    I would like to point out that it is once again, functional without quitting immediately. It still will never have any of the features that they had when it was under Elgato in the version three. You cannot set the priority of choices you want recorded. I have three tuners on one Mac computer and it records multiple shows all the time. I cannot enter my TV Guide information from my HD home run. It's still forcibly quits once in a while when I tried to delete shows that are currently recording that I don't want, because there's no way for me to not record old shows, that I know of. There's a lot of bull crap left that they need to do and they don't support their users and I bet they don't even read the forums here so they could actually learn what people want fixed.

    No problems with the warning about how some old bits won't be supported anymore?

    EyeTV 4 works perfectly on MacOS 15 Sequoia AFTER a complete EyeTV un-install EyeTV 4 works fine on my Intel Mac (Big Sur) but gave numerous crashes on my Apple Silicon Mac (Sequoia). I struggled a lot before finding the work around : EyeTV 4 runs perfectly after a complete un-install on my MacBookPro M4. To be sure to un-install EyeTV 4 completely, I used CleanMyMac. But other utilities should work too. Then I re-installed EyeTV 4 with the latest installer : eyetv 4.0.0 (8532) (64-bit) MAC version. Hope this helps.
