  1. I have EyeTV running on 2 Macs. My main ‘recording machine’ is still on OSX12 sits under my TV and also runs a Plex server. My other ‘Desktop’ Mac I keep more or less up-to-date. I just updated this to OSX 14 and EyeTV seems to work, apart from the crashing on exit. So I may update the other Mac soon. Both are Intel Mac Minis, 32gb ram and 10gb ethernet. I haven’t made the leap to Apple Silicone yet! The Desktop Mac used to be a very old Tower Mac tricked out with lots of goodies, but had to be retired once I couldn't update the OS anymore. Shame about the EPG being dead. I have got used to setting up repeating manual recordings and then converting the saved video directly with Handbrake, not exporting from EyeTV. I edit this video in EyeTV to remove adverts. Exporting in Handbrake lets me keep any subtitles, which is good 👍🏻. I recently changed my collection of single satellite tuners to a single 4 Chanel satellite network box. Great bit of kit, works really well for me. Can be had for a bargain on eBay too. I can record 3 streams at the same time if I want too! Interesting 3rd party EPG mentioned above. I’ll have a look at this. Manually having to setup recordings is a very retrograde step compared to what I used to do. Tivo, a few decades ago, was brilliant at finding things all by itself, using its algorithms. But I guess we are in a different world now, streaming, etc. I don’t know how much longer there will be any real need to directly record a satellite feed?
  2. I get precision by clicking on the images / timeline to move the red cursor, the cursor keys don't do this very well!
