    I own (among other brands/types) both the Netstream 4C and HDHR3-4DC. The HDHR is recognized and functions with EyeTV & DVBlink & TVHeadend. The Netstream 4C functions only with EyeTV and not DVBlink. According to the people of DVBlogic the Netstreams uses a different protocol and does not use the regular DVB-C drivers.

    I suggestie that you look up the meaning of the word proprietary before you call tthings 'bullshit'.

    Fact is that only 1 single app on the Mac is able to use the Netstream reason is that the Netstream uses protocol only know to Geniatech and does not work with default drivers.

    it is not that other apps (Mac or aTV) are crippled. Also there is more on this world than Satellite TV. There is 'over the air' and 'cable'. Also programs that I refer to are running on Mac not on aTV. 

    You clearly have a dislike of the aTV. Fine for you but this is primarily a Thread about the aTV and what Mac users expect from Geniatech !

    There is an additional advantage to a ported IOS->aTV4 app and that is because EyeTV is capable of working with a broad range of tuners and not limited to Netstream only. So a ported app means that very many users can watch (and schedule) their recordings on the aTV4.

    Another fact to stress is that there are very many apps that enable to watch live TV on the aTV4. The fact that these do not work with Netstream (but all do work with standard IP tuners) is the fact that Netstream uses a proprietary protocol. A secondary minus of this proprietary protocol is that only Geniatech software will work and no other software (even not the widely available TVHeadend, DVBlink).

    Also I like to stipulate a small but important fact. Some here are the opinion that Geniatech does not need to support devices like HDHR. I like to point to the fact that Elgato has been selling for many years the HDHR rebadged with only their name on it. This fact alone obliges Geniatech to keep supporting HDHR to full extend. Same as with all other 3-rd party (IP & USB) hardware that EyeTV has been working with and whose owners paid a whopping € 76,= to buy EyeTV.

    Sure, all Mac EyeTV functions might be nice but since ATV is no Mac – e.g. it has no disks – how could that be done?

    Very, very, easy. Simply the same way that you can use the EyeTV app on iPhone/iPad to record, schedule, watch recorded programs. It connects with the EyeTV app on the Mac. Exactly the same way as similar apps running on either a NAS, Mac, PC are doing it.

     

    And yes the Mac has to be turned on. So what? Many people leave it on 24/24 and 7/7. No big deal.

    very good and interesting discussion - remember we talking about for free service // tvOS App, and we just started on this - main topic is to stream from your mac, recorded content and live tv, like the eyetv iOS APP, it will come - its noted -  again stay tuned. and please give us a break and stay fair - things takes time - and sorry - we will not comment on other developers APPs - even we know them and their work they have done.

    #Ton - if I remember correct - you are in the Netherlands, correct? but it does not matter, I here be invite you to discuss with us your sharing and your expertise of the market here at EMEA HQ, we cover all expenses, and sure we live stream this discussion, when will it work for you the best?

    @Mikyesun

    "very good and interesting discussion ........."

    You really mean that? Please do not tell me that up to now you (or others at Geniatech) know that your users expect a aTV4 app similar/identical/ported to the iPad app. Which in my opinion indeed should be free since it is an addon to EyeTV 3 (which is not rather cheap).

    "#Ton - if I remember ....."

    Correct, I do live in the Netherlands and about 2,5 hours driving from Herzogenrath. Setting a date is a bit more complex because of my handicap. I suggest using email for this.

    However, I do not think a visit in person is necessary. Better would me (my opinion) a virtual meeting using products like Webex where several people can participate at the same time. It is clear that many here have the same idea like @Mpainesyd, @ibrewster, @toyotakurtis and certainly many others here.

    Simply take your own webpage (http://bit.ly/2pY3lRJ) and add the word aTV4 to "EyeTV on your iPhone & iPad & aTV4". A simple port for starters is all that we ask. Later there can be (visual and other) improvements. That's all we ask of you and I believe a programmer can port it within 1 month. The iPad version is the base to use. Alternative fast solution is buying Livezap and using that as a base.

    But as stated, I do not mind to visit in person.

    Besides. How many Netstreams will have been sold? It is a device that solely runs on a Ma using Geniatech software and nowhere else and also only since a very short while can be used with all of its 4 tuners.

    Most (>90%, >99%) people have either HDHR's or Hybrids and other USB-type devices. That's where the bulk comes from and that are the people now waiting 1+ year for a simple port.

    And they want to play their recordings on a aTV4

    thank for you personal opinion, we appreciate any feedback, we are just in the beginning, stay tuned.

    @Mikyesun

    I always post (no matter where) my personal opinion as a private person. I hope messages from you and your collegues reflect company standpoint and not your personal view.

    I would rather have ead some explanation why a company is working on a tvOS app for over a year and then builds something that is not even close to what people expect. Also because a Netstream app was already available on tvOS.

    Moreover, a company (Livezapp) had long been able to prduce something resembling the IOS app without any of the inside expertise that you have.

    I like to bring picture below to your attention. It reflects what is happening at Geniatech.

    And this worthless app has been worked on for over a year? You really must have losers as developers. Get yourself 1 (one) good programmer and he will port the IOS app within 1 (one) months to tvOS.

     

    We need to be able to watch recorded EyeTV (on Mac) programs, set recording schedules using EyeTV (on Mac) programs. And so on. And fire all the others.

    Or buy Livezapp and turn this in a fully working app.

    This is the best place I could find. A few questions:

    1.  The app finds the Netstream 4C (info gives correct IP). However, no stations are found when I scan for channels even though it says that "channels have been found".

    2.  Where does this app stores "recorded programs"? Is there a coupling with EyeTV on the iMac?
