  1. I think there's a problem with the hardware not being recognized by Mac OS 10.14 Mojave. I recently did a clean install on a Mac Mini and it would not operate my eyeTV HD box. Luckily I had a Time Machine Backup, which allowed it to work. Specifically, there's SIP, System Integrity Protection, on the latest OS. (With TimeMachine, I think it reinstalls some hidden settings, specific to SIP, so restoring backup allowed it to work. The settings on the backup were grandfathered in from a previous older version of MacOS.) Be sure to go to Privacy settings...sometimes there's a message that asks if you wish to allow "this software" to be installed.
  2. I just reduced the number of channels in the xml file, per your suggestion. That worked. Thank you! I’m going to see if I can use Keyboard Maestro to run the script you developed on a daily basis. The launch daemon technique you also developed is cool. I’m going to try this easier technique first and graduate to your methodology afterwards. Thanks again for your expertise and insight.
  3. One more thing...I'm using the latest Mojave, not High Sierra. Maybe that's the issue?
  4. WisconsinEric, Thanks for your incredible work. I've tried your scripts and techniques. It works, but with a major hitch. When I first manually drag the xml file to the EyeTV app, the application freezes and I see a modified beachball spin. I have to force quit the program. When I relaunch EyeTV, the listings are updated. I think the script is working to update, but I'm not seeing any update in the listings within the app. I do see the updated listings.xml file in the "Scripts" folder that you suggested we create. If I manually drag that updated .xml file to the EyeTV app, it again freezes with a the spinning beachball. I did a fresh install of the EyeTV app into a newly formatted HD and fresh system. The EyeTV app still freezes with when the XML file is dragged over the app. --->BTW, for others trying this, be sure you have backups of your computer. The EyeTV app was non-functional with a fresh reinstall. It seems it really wanted to connect to the TV Guide service, even to create the setting for the set top box channel switcher. It's a good thing I had a TimeMachine backup or I'd be screwed.
