  1. Unless there was a media company somewhere which had an interest in shutting down a service which makes it easy to take high quality copies of movies.
  2. Good luck with that. I suspect v4 has been abandoned. In the UK I find it completely unusable as in almost all cases, it bakes narration audio into the soundtrack. Thank you to rtraill and v8pasi!
  3. I can confirm I have EyeTV 3 running on Parallels in a High Sierra VM, and also updated to Mojave. No special magic required to do this.
  4. A little more info on what is happening. Recordings are saved as a .ts file by EyeTV 4, and a .mpg file by EyeTV 3. HD programmes mostly have an AC3 5.1 audio stream and an mpg narration stream. But some have AC3 Stereo instead, plus the narration stream. EyeTV 4 seems to be unable to parse or record an AC3 5.1 audio stream, so programmes which feature 5.1 are left only with the narration stream. Programmes with an AC3 Stereo track seem to be fine, and both that and the narration track are recorded in the file. I do not know whether this is something that only happens with EyeTV 4 and Netstream 4Sat - or whether it is something that a firmware update could fix. However, there is no obvious way to update to what appears to be the latest firmware. Anyway, as it stands, EyeTV 4 could barely be described as beta software. It's not just glitchy, it simply doesn't work. This is basic stuff.
  5. Same here, it doesn't work. It's quite odd. They say that there is no web interface for firmware update, although there clearly is. https://www.geniatech.eu/faq/eyetv-netstream-4sat-firmware-update/ And apparently we are prompted to update in the app if there is a firmware update. Well there clearly is a firmware update, but there is no way to load it.
  6. Exactly the same here. EyeTV 4 is useless junk. Lucky I still have a machine that can run v.3. I have been through several updates of Catalina, and at least a couple of versions of EyeTV 4, which I have also completely removed and reinstalled. Still get infuriatingly banal narration.
