    32bit applications can't run on 64bit-OS when/since Apple doesn't support them anymore.
    And the porting effort entails much more than just 32bit to 64bit - I'd be surprised if EyeTV 3 isn't a Carbon App and would have to be ported to a whole new API (probably what they did).

    And with the advent of streaming services, conventional TV is a declining market anyway.

    I can confirm the Mega link version 8528 works perfectly with macOS 13 Ventura on a Macbook running M1 Max CPU.

    I was a bit concerned about getting software via a link like that, anyway I ran a Combo Cleaner Antivirus scan over it and it came up clean. 

    https://file.geniatech.com/eyetv4/EyeTV4.0.0_8528.dmg is now (wasn't last week) the same version as the mega.nz download:

    I assume that this hidden 8528 release on the Geniatech download server is still the old one, not containing any fix in regards to the Ventura issues. Just be careful. As long as there is no official communication by Geniatech, I recommend not to download from unknown sources.

    Not anymore - seems that hey silently updated it:

      This is the same hash as for the mega.nz download link provided earlier.

    Even without a link on their website, this gives me way more confidence in the fixed version.

    Hmm, lots of "newbie" users downloading file from external sites and saying it works for them. I don't trust this.

    Generally wise. Always cautious with external downloads.
    That said, build 8528 seems indeed hosted on the geniatech website:

    https://www.geniatech.eu/download/eyetv-4-0-0-8527-64-bit-mac-version/

    (Go to the "Download eyetv 4 version 4.0.0 (8527)" link, right-click ,"Copy Link", and replace "8527" with "8528" in the UR, and voila...)

    Put a keyboard shortcut to switch to full screen? hahaha, I'm stupid, we have a mouse for that!

    CMD + 5

    Use Escape to leave full screen mode like in EYETV 3: hahaha for what?

    Works for me. (8526)

    Honestly, I kind of understand your frustration - but criticising them for something they have fixed, while choosing to stay on an outdated version yourself isn't quite fair either.

    But if anyone has an app that can replace EYETV, I'm about to switch

    Don't think there's anything that can compete on modern macOS.

    For me, it's either EyeTV, maybe Sat>IP Viewer or setting up a TVHeadend server.

    EyeTV version is 4 (8526). Is it worth updating to 8527?

    For what it's worth, I downloaded EyeTV4.0.0_8527.dmg from here.
    After mounting the dmg Image and right-clicking to "Get Info" on the contained app, it shows "Version: 4.0.0 (8526)".
    Same after installation in the EyeTV -> About EyeTV menu.
    The apps has a slightly different file size than the one in the EyeTV4.0.0_8526.dmg image - but I guess the differences are likely very small.

    I have ha EyeTV Netstream 4C that is working perfectly with EyeTV 3.6.9, including full 1920x1080 resolution on supported channels.

     

    EyeTV 4 however only displays a maximum resolution resolution of 720p on the very same channels, at noticeably worse quality. It obviously seems to default to the Netstream 4C's hardware transcoding engine (that is intended for lower-powered mobile devices). I can't find a way to get the original transport stream in full quality. Have tried running setup assistant and new channel scan, but to no avail.

    Also, some - but only some - channels (or rather frequencies) don't seem to work at all, providing no picture. Again, they're perfectly working on 3.6.9 with the same hardware - and also on EyeTV 4 with a USB tuner.
