The gear at the bottom doesn't have any options for manually adding channels; if you mean "channel update," that always says I don't have an internet connection.
You are right. I do not understand. I am pretty sure your tuning device (mine is a EyeTV Hybrid US 2008) has to *scan* before you get channels listed in All Channels window. All programming guides purchased through Geniatech are not available. Not sure what your "no internet connection" means. Did you have a service before? Had you set up an alternative service? (I am using XMLTV Listings in US.)
In US if you change EPG for channels to ATSC/OpenCable you can get a (48 hour?) program guide.
Below is the popup menu from the gear icon in All Channels window. If you want to try to add a channel not listed you would need to know its frequency.
I hope we are getting closer to what you need here. I will try to check back sooner.

Do you mean tuning for channels? Click on your device in the sidebar and you will see "Auto-Tune". You will have several options in that menu.
From the gear at the bottom of the All Channels section you can manually add channels among other options.

It simply doesn't give me the option to tune in Brazil or, even worth, doesn't open any option to tune the VCR so I could copy some old VHS tapes. It does not work as the recording guide says. Any ideas how to work it out?
If I remember correctly, the old Elgato EyeTV Hybrid came with a cable to connect to VCR though I have never done this to see if it worked. I have a 2008 Hybrid on my iMac Retina 5K running Catalina and earlier non Clear QAM Hybrid on much older iMac. The cable is sitting in a drawer somewhere. You are connecting with the cable, yes?

Tell us what service you use. Geniatech's subscription EPG is not working for anyone.
-
The EyeTV iPad app is not working with EyeTV 4.
-
I just installed EyeTV 4 on my MacBook Pro (dragged over the app from my iMac which uses an EyeTV Hybrid). I had no trouble with the activation key. I did not move over my device to test further.

No, the program guide Geniatech used to sell (I think a new purchase of EyeTV still comes with 30 days subscription) will not work. That service is dead and gone.
-
Long time EyeTV user here.
I don't know about recent months, but I bought EyeTV 4 last October and got the activation key a few minutes after I received the invoice (separate emails). If you have an Geniatech store login, log in first. If not, create an account.
I only record OTA shows using iMac Retina 5K 27-inch 2017, macOS Catalina (10.15.7). I use XMLTV Listings for the EPG program data.

Can you all tell me your experiences running EyeTV 4 on Monterey? Any comments or cautions? Any horrible issues?
NOT updating to Big Sur or Ventura at this time, so please comment on macOS Monterey only, thanks.
-
Possibly: In EyeTV Preferences->Guide->, set Service to "none". In North America this stopped EyeTV from checking for EPG subscription.
Peut-être: Dans les Préférences EyeTV->Guide->, réglez Service sur "aucun". En Amérique du Nord, cela a empêché EyeTV de vérifier l'abonnement EPG.

For me EyeTV 4 has refresh issues. Try to click away to something else, such as Channels, then go back to Program Guide.
Translated by Google:
Pour moi, EyeTV 4 a des problèmes de rafraîchissement. Essayez de cliquer sur autre chose, comme les chaînes, puis revenez au guide des programmes.

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...)
Great tip!!!
Strange, just looked at my EyeTV 4 version that I downloaded last August 26 in anticipation of going from EyeTV 3 to EyeTV 4 (and upgrading from Mojave to Catalina--not yet Ventura):
https://file.geniatech.com/eyetv4/EyeTV4.0.0_8528.dmg
I think this link was posted somewhere on this forum.

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

You have to buy EyeTV 4 (64-bit) which is a major upgrade from EyeTV 3 (34-bit) and use a new activation key.

On 10/12/2022 at 12:12 PM, Seriously? said:Nearly 75 days without EPG service.
Is ANYONE at Geniatech actually trying to correct the issue???
I hope so as well. It would be nice if Geniatech will stick around to update their only money making product right now: EyeTV. But having limited the product's usefulness by neglecting the EPG service is a horrendous way to run a business.
Confession: I recently bought EyeTV 4 64-bit so I can upgrade my iMac to Catalina (macOS 10.15). Would be nice for Geniatech to commit to supporting their software.

As am electronics designer with a solid computer background (and an MSEE) I could have walked to the server in China or wherever it is, fixed it and walked back to Los Angeles in the time they have been lying about a "server issue". I can only think that they are using the Donald Trump school of business. Lie enough until they believe there own BS.
I dare them to come clean. I suspect they can not afford to pay TV guide (and maybe others) so they continue to lie about the real cause.
No one on this forum believes you anymore.
If they remove this post I will continue to post it every day until I die !
Best thing about Geniatech right now is this forum. I assume they have to pay the vendor (Invision Community) for this service. I wonder when time will run out on that subscription???

Hi all, I decided to through caution to the wind and purchase EyeTV 4. Geniatech's automated system promptly took my money (via PayPal) and sent my activation key and download link. But that download is an older version of V. 4. Somewhere on this forum someone posted a link to EyeTV4.0.0_8528.dmg, so I already had that version on my computer.
I was surprised as to how different V. 4 looks in comparison to V. 3. Very modern looking. Still getting used to the placement of things.
One thing that is broken for me (in USA) is closed captions. All I see are black bars where the captioning should be.
Why give Geniatech my business? Well I DID get a full refund for the EPG Premium service, and I would like to move on from macOS 10.14.x (Mojave) to be able to play World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. I will probably upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur.
Anyone want to comment?

1 hour ago, Chris18 said:My experience is exactly the same as above. It is a complete rip-off. The whole Eyetv system has been deteriorating for years. It is so disappointing as it used to be brilliant but now it is worse than useless. I have paid my subscription to Geniatech until December but for the past couple of months have not been able to use it. At the very least we should get a refund. I will not be renewing in December unless things improve and will probably give up on the whole thing - what a dreadful shame.
Hi. This is a post from a forum post from someone in Germany (Google Translate). Perhaps use this info to get at least a partial refund?
I searched forum for "anteilig" which is prorated in German.
"...we are sorry to inform you that there are technical problems with the server and we apologize for the inconvenience.
We can offer you an extension of the term according to the duration of the problem or a partial refund of the invoice amount.
Please let us know what you have chosen.

If you are within 180 days of purchase and request a refund via PayPal you will get it full refund. Outside of that period, Geniatech is extending the subscription. Though I did read elsewhere on the forum that people have gotten a prorated amount back on the subscription price, so perhaps keep emailing Geniatech?

52 minutes ago, Ben said:They could have at least made it possible for us to use Titan TV Guide.
One remedy, not a good one, is to use the older Tivo boxes, to record what you want to watch then manually record them to EyeTV, else guess we have had a good run. Guess we lose our fee as well. The copies I have installed still work don't know how long they will. I have version 4 installed on a M1 mini, real piece of crap compared to the ease of use of version 3 but when I tried to log in to TV guide no password I had would work, still have active accounts on version 3 but no data, been a couple months now.
Keep emailing support on every Geniatech email you can find. Get a refund for EPG subscription. I see that some people on forums have received a prorated amount back. I received 100% refund because it was within 180 days of PayPal purchase.
If you are talking about the TitanTV remote scheduling, yes that has been broken (for me at least). EyeTV does not recognize my account user name and password so cannot connect.

My sympathies,
All subscribers to EPG services from Geniatech have had this problem since early August (Geniatech has said it is a server problem, but we think they are abandoning the EyeTV software and EPG subscription services). If you wish, you should see about getting a refund of your subscription. Keep trying support, try different emails to the company Geniatech.
If you are in North America, try the XMLTV listings service. Others in Europe have had some access to other EPG services, check the forum posts.
Also, try posting in your native language first and then English below.
Good luck!

I misremembered Geniatech's ineptitude.
You are right! That was the year that the service went down during Chinese New Year holidays.

25 minutes ago, JimBob said:You seem to be talking about the EPG from Titan.
The "partnership" with TitanTV I am talking about (partners.titantv.com or titantv.com) is supposed to provide remote scheduling from the TitanTV website to EyeTV. Remote scheduling stopped working for me in early August, about the same time Premium EPG Service (TV Guide) stopped downloading data.
EyeTV 3.6.9 build 7530 was released LAST YEAR to fix the EPG outage lasting from Premium EPG Service.
I am actually responding to people having an ongoing problem with EPG download and I said that I began to use the XMLTV subscription which has been fairly in its setup and Apple Script download using the guide at XMLTV.com help page.
