Sorry I don't speak German. I had to use Google translate for your post.  Like I've said before, in my opinion if you want a good and hassle free experience with EyeTV you're better off sticking with Eyetv 3 a getting an old Mac that supports it. I've still got 2 Macs that are still able to run Eyetv3. If I didn't I would probably pick up an old Mini that's able to run High Sierra and use it just for that.

I think the last version of MacOS that can run EyeTV 3 is either High Sierra or Mojave. I run High Sierra on my 2013 iMac with Eyetv and it works well.  This link shows the Macs that will run on what version of MacOS.

Hi Lenn5

I've noticed on a few other posts that people are having problems with the activation key on EyeTV4, and maybe that's why the engineers have not gotten back to me, I'm just guessing now, you did advise me before that I should just run EyeTV3 but on an old Mac, can you elaborate on that what kind of old Mac should I buy and what operating system should it be on for me to use my EyeTV3 again, would really appreciate your advice

Kind regards Zaf

Is too bad they don't sell it too someone that would really work on it to fix the bugs and continue to update it with new features. Not holding my breath on that either.  lol

Stuff like this is why I will always try to have a Mac that still runs EyeTV3. If you can I would try to find someone with a old Mac that you can buy that will run EyeTV 3. Maybe even a friend or family member with an old Mac they aren't using anymore. I've all but given up hope that the new owners of EyeTV will fix things in version 4.

What's the problem you're having?

I'm keeping at least one Mac that can run EyeTV3.  I was going to purchase Eyetv 4 but will not until they fix the activation lock issue. If they never do then I will be staying with Eyetv 3. I use it to record a few shows OTA and it does a great job along with my 15+ year old El Gato Hybrid USB stick.   Why did they buy the stuff from El Gato if they aren't even going to support it?????☹️

This problemsis one of the main reasons I"m still using a 2013 iMac running High Sierra and Eyetv3. It just works. I have on OTA antenna and an El Gato Hybrid USB stick I've had for 10+ years. It just works. I have a show I want recorded everyday and Eyetv 3 records it everyday. I can't remember the last time it failed to record something.

When I finally upgrade my iMac to an M series Mac as my daily driver I will keep my current iMac around just so I can use Eyetv 3 with it. That is unless by some miracle they finally make Eyetv 4 usable. 

I'm still using Eyetv 3 on iMac because it works and also because i'm not even confident that if I purchase a key for Eyetv4 i will be sent a code to use it. And like the previous poster said will that code only work once? Can I put it on my MBP also? The new owners should really read these forums and get more engaged.

just report it - purge of garbage happens daily

I have been. The messages are from Friday so the purge is long overdue. lol

Would be nice if someone could get rid of all this political spamming.

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.

Thank you ♥️

So no one here has Eyetv 4 installed on more than 1 Mac? 🤔

Can you install Eyetv 4 on more than 1 Mac like you can with Eyetv 3? I've read a few posts from people saying they can't or when they try they get an invalid software key.  thx

Thanks TBinNM for the reply. I was just a bit concerned but will now go ahead and purchase Eyetv 4. 

I've been using EyeTv 3 for many, many years. I just use it to record a few OTA shows. I just got an Apple refurbished M1 MBP running Ventura and would like to use Eyetv 4 with it but have been reading posts where people have bought the app but never heard back from the company with their software key. Is it safe to but this app from Geniatech???
