Hi gege, please got to the "EyeTy T2 Lite vs. T2" thread and read there. I have the same problem but obviously hardware requirements are much higher for DVB-T2 (something the propagators found wise better not to mention), and that's why reception of in particular the ZDF channels is almost impossible. I'm afraid it's the computer to blame and not geniatech. ARD works better, maybe because they still do not work with the highest possible resolution in H.265 (only guessing). Best, ukerm

Hi madamasu, you're right. After some research I found e.g. here http://macandegg.de/2016/09/review-eyetv-t2-und-hybrid-fuer-dvb-t2-hevc-h-265-empfang-im-test/ that cpu requirements for the H.265 codec are much higher than for DVB-T H.264 codec, which explains the high cpu load albeit signal/quality is 100%. So it's my computer to blame :( That's another reason I'm going for a sat dish and DVB-IP, hope that's not a mistake, too. Still strange for me that only certain channels are affected and others not.

Hi madamasu, I can confirm your problems with EyeTV T2 lite / Eyetv3 3.6.9 (7514) on OS X. Here in Berlin I have in particular problems with channels provided by ZDFmobile (frozen picture while sound is continuing) whereas channels from ARD seem to render more or less ok. What I found out is: with ZDFmobile CPU load is systematically going up very much (up to 200 % value) but with provider ARD it's only ~100%. On my small powerbook situation is even worse so that watching tv is impossible. GENIATECH experts should have look into that problem, either it's the underpowered EyeTV T2 lite stick or the eyeTV software has some serious problems. Best Ukerm
