Since they write "It is te decision of our company" it clearly has been done deliberately so small chance they will revert it. Either go to the old version and stay there or start using different software (DVBlink, TVheadend, MythTV). Also Silicon Dust has software running a Mac that used their HDHR's.

@thomaskud I think it is a good idea if you add links to new updates in "EyeTV News and Announcements" makes it easier to update.

A channelscan may take up to several hours! I never understand that there are still people that do not save their system on regular interval or use Time Machine. Doing either gives the option to restore a previous working system. Best is making a clone of your system. Carbon Copy Cloner is perfect and worth its money.

See https://goo.gl/SM4aYt (old review). As usual the price was quite a bit higher than the original. Just like the Hybrid is marketed.

Elgato has sold the HDHomerun for some time rebranded under their own name. Makes it more weird. When Geniatech took over I had hopes that it would undo the error Elgato had made by killing off their forum. Alas, we have now again a forum but with even less support Thant the old original forum. Luckily there are now alternatives (DVBlink, TVHeadend) although with less comfort than EyeTV.

I fear that they have done this on purpose in an tempt to boost the sales of their own hardware. Typical short time thinking and disastrous in the long term.

1. When skipping then the timber no longer shows how much time is remaining. 2. When scheduling then starting/endtime does not show.

The above is now one 1 year old!!!!! And nothing in the positive has happened. Worse, the situation has degraded even further. No aTV app, problems with High Sierra, no response to problem messages, no sign of EyeTV 4 (64 bits) In short: EyeTV (software and hardware!) have become abandonware. Products that are sold without any support. There are 11 moderators (an absurd large group for a niche product) @Abigale @David Andel @Dual_HD @Echo88 @justin @Mikyesun @N.Z @Nick @NinjaKai @thomaskud @Vanessa but where are the technicians i.e. people that know how to program and solve problems? Where is the management that should decide on timelines? What is the timeline? And more, more, more questions.

DVBlink has one big fail and that is scheduling. This is too primitive and my only reason to also use EyeTV. For Win users there is a good solution in the from of an addon.

Both (iMac & HDHR) should get their IP-address from a DHCP-server which is usually located in your modem/router. Most will provide always the same IP. If not (apparently your case) then you should tell the DHCP-server to assign fixed IP-addresses. How, depends on brand router.

DVBlink from dvblogic.com works very good and has a working aTV and iPhone/iPad app.

EyeTV is still old-fashioned 32 bit software. We are still lucky that it is not 16-bit. Expect them to take at least 2 years before coming out with a 64-bit Beta.

Just give it a try. There is a 30-day trial period.

@asander: I bet there never will be a app for the aTV, just like there never will be a really updated EyeTV. Just too complicated for Geniatech. If you want aTV usage then switch over to DVBlink. It has a good working aTV app foor a long time now. Only their scheduling sucks.

@Mikyesun @thomaskud I hear the bookmakers are taking 1:1.000 that in 2025 you guys have been able to produce a real working aTV4 app. Helas, small problem: the aTV4 has been replaced for many years by the aTV6. May I take your bets?

Schedules are within a (invisible!) folder of the EyeTV Archive. Use a programm like "Funter" or similar and it will show all invisible files. Also you can use programs like "Ifilex" to find any file anywhere.

Remark on @jelockwood fine description: " it is not necessary to scan for stations again." better is to not do the scan since it will delete existing scans. Offcourse an update scan is no problem since then the old scan remains active. In this way even the HDHR3-4DC can be used although then only 2 decoders are accessible.

If the U6 is able to pick-up up all wanted stations then it might work if you set it up the U6 and then disconnect it, connect the HDHR. I know by experience that this method works in a number of cases. If not then the best solution is dumping EyeTV, get (Free) version of DVBlink. That will function perfectst with the HDHD. Alternative is using TVHeadend but that has quitte a large learning curve. If you love working on the "bits & byte" level MythTV is an alternative but only if you can get it to work.

You might try another brand like in the picture. They are all able to be used by EyeTV.

I doubt Geniatech will provide the necessary APi & other technical info. Better luck might be HDHomerun from SiliconDust. All their info is public.

Do not use any option to convert from within EyeTV! Use Handbrake because it is fast and any player can play the converted movie.

I've lost all confidence that an aTV4 app (similar to the one for IOS) will ever see the day of light. Even the conference call did never happen.

Due to family circumstances it may be possible that I will not be present. Sorry but priorities. My view on the subject: Either port the iPad.EyeTV app to the aaTV4. Offcourse update it so that recoding on the Mac is not necessary but do this on the aTV. It is powerfull enough and many videoplayers on aTV do same. This will suffice 90 ~ 99% of all users. Or develop a brandnew app and look at competing apps (DVBlink, TVHeadend, Channels and many more) and pick the best of each. Appoint a number of users here as Beta-testers. But I to be able to attend.

Id is simple: "TonVanHest"

@Mikyesun I am able all 3 dates/time if (!) these ere EU times/ @fissionbomb I probably need something like a manual because under hardware there is no Netstream 4c showing. Otoh my HDHR does show.
