My EyeTV key says it has been invalidated, although I bought it.

Can someone from EyeTV Support help?

try i direct support ticket and not the forum. Probably you will get no answer at either of them. I really do not believe the company exists anymore.

(find some time and go through the rest of the threads here and you will get an idea)

wish you luck, you will need it !

check this 

ok, the stupid question, what is Sentinel (yes i google, still stupid me)

i'm following this topic with interest and questions.

Do you really believe after all this years that this software is still active ? that someone cares, that they send your registraion key.

I see no point in posting +1 and +2.

The only reason i'm on 10.14 

On v3 there was an update notification on new version.

This does not exist in v.4 ? that is weird. Have you check the settings ?

have you checked if the settings are stores in a file so you can edit the file directly and enter the new path ? 

cause i do not thing you will get any answer from them.

No that remote has nothing to do with eyetv, it is an original apple remote bought separately when i got the mac mini. it is IR it is exactly as you see it on the picture.

According to other users, NO remote was working on v4. That was years ago though

Yes that is correct, but do they work with eyetv4, there were people saying that no remote works with v4. only keyboad.

Most active thread in years here 😁

So i jump and highjack it, i'm the one who haven't upgraded from Mojave because it is my only source of TV. My one question do not think has answered. Is the remote control from the mac  mini 2014 , the classic metallic one works ?????????

Have you ever run eyetv 4 in a newer 64bit version of MacOS ?

Was this working fine with no problems on v14 ?

I'm still on Mojave just because of EYETV3

I have pass through all the post, written and reply on all the people frustrations even years after v4 was out. So much wrong from EyeTV, so much "No replies from them" so much "They don't care" people were furious during all that time.

So after an absent i want to test the waters and see how we are.

I have an old MAC MINI 2018, and the old metal remote.

My big question the remote is working, cause the old topics said no remote is working. And TV without a remote is no TV.

So is EYE TV 4 working and stable ?

Is it the momentum going to 64bit, did eyetv4 is mature now and geniatech had again the developers to support it ?

Thank you

And that is EXACTLY why i i'm staying with Mojave and v3. If remote Control does not work it is a totally USELESS application.

@great_vc In this version of EyeTV 4 remote control don't supported. In next release there is some possibility to work like in EyeTV 3.

Personally when i move to new M1 mac mini, i gave the aluminum remote control as a gift (βλακεία μου) to a new owner of my old intel imac.

@stelios1914 yeah, and that is one of the reasons i will not upgrade from Mojave. Its not that v4 is steady and have no bugs (😅) but not having a remote in TV is completely pointless.

σε ευχαριστώ!

The old metallic IR remote doesn't work with newer Mac Minis, including the M1 version. They don't have an IR receiver. Apparently you can use an Apple TV remote to control them, but I have no idea if they would work with Eye TV.

i do not have the new one, i have the original late-2015. which works with eyetv3 , my question is if it works with eyetv4 as i have conflicting response on that. and you can image that TV  viewing without a remote is not usable.

I found out (upgrade to M1 and eye tv 4 today...) that you can quick change the channel by clicking the channels logo bottom left corner, a menu with all channels pops up. 

hint: you cannot close it with ESC, you need to click in the icon again and the menu disappears.

well hidden feature and I wonder why some UI-elements moved across the screen from down to up and so on...

 

i will ask this again as i will never upgrade due to the fiasco of EYETV, do yo have a the macmini remote ? does it work ?

I mean the metallic remote

Hi, I used the latest eyetv 3.x for many years on my Mac mini 2010 with an eyeTV hybrid with an antenna for USA TV recording. The online TV guide stopped working a few years ago and I never got it to work again and just used manual recordings a few times.

After looking for other options, I decided to try again and installed EyeTV 4 yesterday on my M1 mini. I thought the TV guide for one year came with EyeTV 4, but it didn't seem to so I had to purchase guide for North America separately. Setting up the TV guide was a real pain and I got error messages and the link they sent me for activation didn't work. Finally the TV guide is showing up. I can watch live TV. I scheduled a few shows for recording and that worked.

I'm running: Mac mini 2020 with M1 ARM processor, 16GB, Big Sur Version 11.1, System firmware version 6723.61.3, EyeTV 4 (8524), Premium EPG North America,. Elgato Eye TV Hybrid USB tuner (North America 2010) connected to a digital antenna (ATSC). During the app installation I got a popup that Rosetta2 was required and I installed that.

do yo have a the macmini remote ? does it work ?

Does the metallic remote works on this yet ?

Thanks for the tip!

• Does it work with the eyetv3 dual tunner? I'm not in US i'm in Greece
• Does it support over the air regular DVB-T scanning and live tv with EPG ?
• Don't mind paying of course.

For the few who have mentioned it, apparently you can't run EyeTV 3 through Parallels Desktop.  I've tried, and others, without success. 

The app requires 2d/3D acceleration to work and Parallels does not have access to the APIs to have this.

https://forum.parallels.com/threads/eyetv-3-on-mohave-10-14-6-under-pdt.348897/#post-870989

thank you for the clarification, i needed that !

I read the thread people are talking about VM with windows 10 and alternative software NextPVR which i do not like and i'm in Greece so no HDHOMERUN.

Before EyeTV i was super happy with my win 7 media center application for TV. Do you think that the eyetv3 dual tuner will work with that in a VM with parallels ?

Thanks for testing this out.

Can you report these issues to Apple? I'm not convinced we can rely on GeniaTech to do so.

Apple should bear some responsibility here. Existing software should not break from one release to the next – year after year – without some seriously good excuse. On x86 EyeTV should "just work" on Big Sur.

Don't expect apple to get involved on a single software that it is not working. Maybe if Microsoft Word was not working they get involved but not with some piece of code poorly written by a company that we do not know if the exist anymore

The thing that concerns me is the negative feedback that GeniaTech has gotten on this app. I have been reading comments from users saying don't expect this company to offer any updates for this app with Big Sur. I don't know what to believe.

just give up. I have done it. Im still in Mojave and since apple gives security updates for two releases back i will stay here. I'm not using my MacMini , its from TV and KODI only.

I have asked for alternatives here but nothing has come up, i'm still waiting for someone to point me on how to work with the Parallers software. Have no problem pay

There are a few people who are quite negative about it because they expected to get free updates for life, but myself I have been moderately pleased with it.

Certainly isn't a polished product with a few issues (hopefully more updates coming) but it is stable. Don't think it has crashed on my in the last 6 months.

perfect example of "how to disorient people from the actual problem"

Well, first of all the negativity is NOT from the fact that you have to pay for the upgrade. i will pay double the amount of money asked for that product with no issue.

Also noone is speaking about crashes. It does not crash (ok it crash but not that often)

WE

are all complaining about the fact that it just doesn't deliver as v3. I will not go into the hundreds of problems within the software (again no crashing if the image is just a black screen on full screen TV) or the fact that the remote control, the apple remote the remote on a TV program application on your TV, the remote(!) is not working (again see no crashes on the app). or more and more and more. 

So go back and try to fix something (do not know if the company is still valid)

Dusting off my old EyeTV Hybrid and looking for software. It appears 3.x no longer works on Catalina. Is 4.0 stable enough on Catalina to buy?

hahahah welcome to hell

the answer is simple

DO NOT EVEN TRY TO BEGIN TO THINK TO PURCHASE IT

Does ti matter ? Is this company even alive ?

do they do their job ? do you expect anything from them now ?

Is there an ACTUAL  ALTERNATIVE for eyetv that works or only via virtualbox, someone says something about another software that can run windows software or MACOs without installing an actual image. . I actually have give up , i want to upgrade to Catallina but i can't

hahaha , nice on M|S

Success on EyeTV 4 ? and you are asking to support ARM now ?

Be happy that you can still post on a site with expired certificate, full of spam posts and actual employees of the company probably already on another company
