    Good news.... I can verify that Geniatech is working on a fix. I was asked to beta test a new version of EyeTV3 and it has a new program guide that works. Hopefully they will be releasing a public version soon.

    The fact that TV Guide is also no longer available on the Geniatech web site to me suggests some kind of license/legal dispute between TV Guide and Geniatech. There are free/open source TV guides out there, I wonder if EyeTV can use them (see my 2nd paragraph below). Meanwhile, EyeTV isn't 'junk' as one person suggested above - all other functions work fine, and you can manually program recordings. Cumbersome, but if you know what you want to record it doesn't take very much longer (I have tried it and it works without problem). The Repeat record function should also work, saving some manual programming. Admittedly not a long-term solution but keeps the software working.

    TV Guide alternatives: Has anyone in the US tried the "built-in" EPG referred to on pp. 18 & 59 of the EyeTV3 user manual? ("in-stream EPG"). I notice that the EPG column under the Channels window does also offer two other options besides TVGuide: ATSC/OpenCable and xmltv. I wonder if the latter can be configured to give access to open source EPGs? I assume you have to set this option to ATSC/OpenCable to generate the (limited) in-stream program guide.

    I attempted to use the built-in EPG ATSC/Open Cable, but it is not very reliable for me. Some stations don't even show up and those that do only show information for the next 24-48 hours. Not really helpful for setting the dvr to record that show you want next week...

    My Support ticket response from Angela at Geniatech:

    Hello Holden,

        Thank you for your request. Sorry for the inconvenience. We just come back from our Spring Festival Holidays. It is a technical issue. which will take us a few days to fix it. We will keep you informed. Please wait with patience.

        Kind regards,

        Angela

    If the Spring Festival is the one where copious quantities of beer are consumed , maybe that is a factor in the delay. 🙂

    I got the same email from "Angela"! lol
