Eyetv Netstream 4sat recording problems Hi, Mac Pro 2013 with Monterey 12.7.1 newest version. EyeTV Sat and alternately Eyetv Netstream 4sat connected to sat1. In both cases Diseq1.0 with 3 transponders connected. All scanned channels are recognised and appear ok. Like previous versions howver, build 8531 still often crashes when changing a channel list. Trying out Eyetv Netstream 4sat led to the same problem as well as a more serious second problem: Recording is very erratic and often second blank window appears. Sometimes works, sometimes not -- even for 2 conscutive programs on the same channel. Eyetv Netstream 4sat is thus unusable for recording. SOftware needs a vigorous overhaul/ Regards, Brian Coleman I

Hi Gilken You specify files 3550.xml and. Satellites.xml . Could you please list the exact edits to replace Atlantic Bird 3 wth Eutelsat 5 West B ? Help would be much appreciated. Regards, Brian Coleman brian.coleman.velchron@gmail.com

Hi, All of sudden this afternoon, 4th Feb 2023, Astra 19.3 appears instead of Astra 19.2 (as before) in the satellite list. I am using newest Eyetv 4.0.0 (8528) which has run more or less ok over the last months. MacOS: Ventura 12.6.3 up to date. I tried running the identical Eyetv 4 on my MacBook Pro, same MacOS. The same problem emerges. The setup assistant now only lists Astra 19.3. My stored favourite channels are no longer recognised. Now I cannot access any Astra 19.2 channel, even though I can receive Hotbird 13.0 and Freesat 28.2. channels. What's going on here? Please advise/remedy. Brian Coleman

Hi, As already notified, using the newest eyetv4 version 8526 (unable to get listed 8537!!) on Mac Monterey OS 12.5.1, after scanning astra 19.2, I selected entries from the All Channels list and put them into a favorites list. I then scanned Astra 28.2. However the All Channels list still contained only the previous Astra 19 programs. There seemed to be no way to access the 28.2. channels. Very frustrating for those whose have multiple satellite transponders. SOLUTION: First select all existing All Channels programs and save them to a favorites list e.g.19A Then click Select Devices—Tuning—Satellite Setup and set all Satellites to "Not Used" except the new one to be scanned. Note: Maybe the Eytev Setup Assistent needs to be then called up. This does not delete already generated Favorites lists. Then scan and choose new channels from the now new All Channels list saving them into a new favorites list e.g. 28A. After that again Select Devices—Tuning—Satellite Setup and change all other available satellites back to their original setting. No need to rescan. In the same way new All Channels lists can then be used to make further favorite lists. In would be good if Geniatech could rectify this purely software bug. By the way, apart from occasional crashes when changing from one favorites list to another, Eyetv4 works ok under Monterey 12.5.1 on my Mac Pro (late 2013).. Brian Coleman

Hi, As already notified to geniatech, using the latest eyetv4 on Mac Pro OS 12.5, and having scanned astra 19 and selected a favorites list which worked ok, I then scanned Astra 28.2. Many stations were found but there seems to be no way to access them. The All Channels list still contained only the previous Astra 19 programs. Strangely this was not so earlier, but even after uninstalling eyetv4 and a reinstall, the problem persists. This is is clearly a simple software matter. I wonder when I can expect a reply from Geniatech !!! Also the website report the newest version as 8627 the newly downloaded program is designated 8626. Brian Coleman
