I'm glad you found the source of your problem. It will certainly be useful to others. Personally I hate any form of Cloud, including Dropbox. On the net I only go there with the Smartphone, while serious things I do exclusively on the Desktop NEVER connected to the network and only updated in manual. For decades we have been feeding, with everything that concerns us, servers whose "parallel uses" we don't know at all. Now we find out that Artificial (?)Intelligences(?) are fed (or do they "feed"?) with everything that is available and poorly protected on the web. Basically we have put ourselves, for our comfort and with our superficiality, the premises for some "superior entity" to sooner or later do and undo what it will prefer. I strongly doubt that there will be a human at the head ... and maybe "a good one" ...

The EyeTV archive is nothing more than a folder with the name EyeTV Archive that is placed by the program in the "Documents" folder that is located by default in the folder with your "Username". If the program fails to create it, this may be due to the fact that that folder is 'finished out of place' or that it has been deleted. However, you should be able to check the existence of that folder on your old Mac ... and (with caution) from that you could also transfer all the content you have recorded in the past. If your "User Folder" has not been altered and "by chance" only that "Documents" folder is missing, then create a new one and manually enter a folder named EyeTV Archive into it. The program should therefore start normally after redoing the EyeTV Setup Assistant process. Obviously if your system language is French you may need to locate the correct terms in that language (always from the old installation). However, you will find a lot of differences from the EyeTV 3.xxx version you are used to. For example: don't try to change a TV channel with the numbers on the keyboard ... it crashes everything ...
