So to get recording to work using TitanTV, does one do this by choosing what you want to record on their website and using the remote scheduling feature in preferences? I guess I'll give this a try for now. I was planning on moving to another solution after my TV Guide subscription expired in June (mainly because of the out of stock notice on the product page and what seems to be an intentional kill off of Eye TV for the Mac). Now that recordings cannot be setup using the TV Guide service, it looks like I'll need to switch now. It really is a shame because under Elgato's ownership, EyeTV had great brand recognition and a really easy to use PVR / TV solution. I'd been a happy customer for well over 10 years.

Here are the basic TitanTV steps (using titantv.com). 1. First, set yourself up as a user (free) and log in. 2. Click on the Site Preferences menu item at the top. 3. Click on My Channel Lineups tab. 4. If it hasn't filled in your provider, create a new lineup. 5. Click on the My DVR Options tab. 6. Enable the Remote Scheduling checkbox and Save Changes 7. Click on TitanTV Listings at the upper left to get back to the schedule for your system. 8. Click on a desired program. 9. In the popup window, click on the button with a red dot/black box (2nd from left). 10. Confirm you want to add it to your remote queue (that you have to do this for every program is a major PITA). This stores the temporary setting on the TitanTV site (somewhere) 11. Go to eyeTV Preferences/Guide tab. In the TitanTV Remote Scheduling region, click the Change button to add your TitanTV account name (not email address) and password. This will let eyeTV access those stored recording requests stored on TitanTV. 12. Click the Check Now button. (I also set the interval to every hour). 13. This should start populating your Schedules list in eyeTV with your TitanTV selections. You may encounter some channel issues (e.g., I don't have a digital TV subscription, I had to edit the channel listings on TitanTV to remove the "HD" from the names). Also, you won't know about time conflicts until this stage: TitanTV lets you set anything you want without signaling conflicts). 14. If you see a program in the eyeTV Schedules list, and nothing is set to italic, eyeTV should record the program (at least it has for me). Okay, folks, this was a quick-and-dirty rundown based on my hunting around and experimentation. I am far from an expert on TitanTV, so don't ask me about the service. BTW, the iOS version of the TitanTV app does not let you set remote schedules. Booo! Enjoy (as best you can) this clumsy operation.

What a loss for Geniatech. They could of added a yearly subscription service to allow 3rd party hardware to work with EyeTV. Geniatech seems like its not on top of things with EyeTV. Since it purchased EyeTV, tech support is sub par, updates are sparse and bugs multiply. I contacted support by email yesterday about the issue with the PAID subscription programming guide, no reply or fix today. None of this shocks me. We all need to accept that the party is almost over soon.

ATSC EPG alternative Here's an EPG stopgap that works, tested this evening. I have an over-the-air antenna (live in a rural area in Wisconsin without cable, don't want a dish). Not sure if it will work with cable. This is for a Mac running OS 10.11, should work through 10.14. 1. Go to the Channels listing in EyeTV. You will find a listing of your channel lineup you set up in EyeTV. 2. In the EPG column, there is a dropdown menu for each channel; it is currently set to TV Guide. Change it to ATSC for each channel (has to be done one at a time). 3. Go to the Program Guide window, which is still blank, and from the dropdown menu at the top, select Update ATSC (you should have several options, don't select Update TV Guide obviously). 4. I have about two dozen channels in my EyeTV channel listing (which remains active), the program download took under 2 minutes. When done, the Program Guide will be populated for about the next 24 hours (although our 4 public TV channels populated for 4 days out). The listings are barebones, but you can click to record as with TV Guide, and the individual programs do have a content description if you click on the program title. All the usual Record functions work. 5. I'll find out tomorrow if the autoupdate daily function works (set in Program Guide in Preferences), or if you have to do it manually each day. Obviously not convenient like TV Guide, and only goes a day in the future, but it did work fine for me this evening and . . . this is how we did used to do it a decade ago with early DVRs (EPG's have spoiled us). xmltv is probably a better option, I'll tackle that over the next few days.

you can also use http://mc2xml.awardspace.info/ then once the xmltv listing is downloaded you can load it in EyeTV. You have to do this on the command line : open -a /Applications/EyeTV.app ./xmltv.xml The best is to set a cronjob with a script that downloads the file and load it in EyeTV once a day.

Anyone else having problems with TV guide? My guide currently goes out to Tuesday at 7:00PM but nothing after that. My subscription goes until Mar. 19. I did a update now and it said downloading and adding channels but still no additional programs.

Yup my TV guide finally quit updating today 2/5/19! The schedule kept getting shorter by the day until it was completely gone. My subscription doesn't expire until September 2019 but stopped updating, it gives me an error message the the sever is not. responding.

I don't think I want to replace a tuner that's working fine just to try out their service. Almost all my recording is of the main and subchannels of two local PBS stations, though I can receive 30 or so. For the time being, I can schedule recording with EPG listings and just look up more info on the web where I want additional details. I noticed another poster here was was a veteran of the Sony DVR/TVGuide debacle. I had just recently paid $150 to have the software factory upgraded in that $700 DVR when TVGuide killed off their service and bricked the unit, in effect. Sony couldn't be bothered to patch their software so users could at least set the time/date. I have no love for either Sony or TVGuide.

Thanks Danny! Additionally, we can double click on programs within the Schedules area in EyeTV and click on the "Edit Schedule" button and then change the Repeat option to Weekly or whatever you prefer. I don't know how well this will work. Also totally crude from what we've been used to, as it doesn't allow for skipping repeat episodes, etc. Earl - I think you may be clicking on the leftmost "Record" button. Instead, use the smaller red button w/ black rectangle - for "Remote Schedule Queue." Nothing should download via browser. EyeTV handles it internally. I tested it from a 2nd computer, and EyeTV on the other computer loaded it right up.

I joined the TitanTV site (free). When you click on a program listing a box opens with a red button to click record. Titan sends a small file via your browser, which EyeTV is able to read and set a recording. This doesn't appear in the grid, but should show up in Schedules. The Titan TV grid for my area has many superfluous listings that I don't actually receive, but listings can be customized by hiding irrelevant stations and changing the order channels are listed. This is hardly an ideal setup. It is intended for remotely scheduling, but it is an alternative than can be explored. At least this can be consulted for more detail than the EPG listings provide.

The EyeTV interface isn't perfect but is still the best for watching and recording on Mac. However without TV Guide I am lost. Feels like the Sony HDD250 DVR story again which I gave up and went to EyeTV. Doing a quick look I saw too many complaints over in the Plex forums of things breaking that used to work. Decided to give emby a try instead which I had never heard of but saw some decent reviews. Loaded the server without much trouble. Everything is through a web interface on Mac OS. Got a guide for $5/month to test and scheduling appears to work but selecting and changing channels is a dog. All of these programs seem to be a media players first with TV being an afterthought.

Same here, I noticed over a week ago that it wasn't updating so that means it hasn't updated in 2 weeks since the updates are for 2 weeks in advance. The only short term fix is to manually scroll, using the + on the keyboard, through the channels everyday. Out of 55 channels I only left the handful we normally record to save the pain.

I took a look at the Plex website. It's a whole other set of software, with a bewildering array of options I don't really need. I also looked at TitanTV. The schedule will need a whole lot of customizing, but at least it is customizable. All I need is a program guide/scheduler, and I have a very bad feeling about the TV Guide outfit. It works fine, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they just discontinued offering their services for EyeTV.

My eyeTV software preferences do not offer either of those service choices (USA). Only TV Guide and TitanTV Remote Scheduling (which polls schedules you save on the TitanTV web site after enabling Remote Scheduling in the My DVR Options tab on the web page (be sure to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way out of the forest)). I like to set up a week's worth of schedules at a time, but it's going to take at least one hour to do it via TitanTV, whereas I could do it in 10-15 minutes with built-in TV Guide EPG.

Promises aside, I see no signs that Geniatech is or will fix this issue. I suggest that everyone submit a ticket as described above, and at least they will know how many (or how few) people are affected. I also received a follow-up reply to my own ticket. It's disturbing... We wanted to continue to support HdHomeRun, but things did not go as we expected. Therefore, it is a strategic decision from our Management to stop supporting HDHomeRun Devices, as they have no License Agreement and not any Agreement in place between Silicon Dust and Geniatech.

I have noticed the same issue. I have several recurring programs that are not showing new episodes and the Gide ends on Feb 4th. Thats happened before occasionally and I simply did the Update Guide feature to get it back up and running. My current TV Guide subscription runs through June or July of this year. First they no longer supported the HD Homerun without notice (an eyetv software upgrade killed it). I had to downgrade the software to keep using my HD Homerun. AND it looks like the software is 32 bit and any 64 bit update will be of no use if it does not support the HD Homerun. Now this. This glitch better be temporary or I want a refund. I have been a loyal eyetv "cord cutter" for many years and this recent buy out has been nothing but bad news. I have already moved over to Plex but their schedule grid is hard to use which is why I have enjoyed the eyetv guide for so long. I also enjoy editing eyetv recordings which Plex can't do (yet). Eyetv (or Geniatech), please fix this guide interruption asap.

Try submitting a support ticket here: https://www.geniatech.eu/support-contact/?Product=eyetv 3 I did that tonight, and promptly received the following reply: For HDHomerun, 7520 is the last version supporting HdHomeRun. Version 7520 software download site: https://www.geniatech.eu/download/eyetv-3-6-9-7520/ As for the issue of TV Guide, it is a technical issue. We are fixing it. We will inform you immediately once it is back to normal. Kind regards, Angela

+ 1 Same problem on OS X El Capitan. 3.6.9 (7520) - keeping this version as it works with SiliconDust HD Home Run. Subscription good through August 15, 2019 Wondering who to contact to get this fixed?

I should add, I am running EyeTV 3.6.9 (7520) on macOS Mojave 10.14.2.

Yes, I have the same issue. My TV Guide goes out to 5 PM on Tuesday, Feb 5. My subscription is "Active until July 8, 2019". I have also done updates, and restarted the application, with no change.
