    fiber optic

    Soooo since there was no input here nor any other place I tried..the fiber optic installers were here yesterday and the tech went with hdmi to hdmi from the set top box to my mid 2012 mac mini, and that did not work as far as putting tv on to my computer. Next we tried coax out from the set top box to the EyeTv hybrid and onto the computer via usb, pretty much as eyeTv is intended to work. No luck there either......until a tech suggested we put the channel to channel 3. That did work, the tv video came thru pretty good. There are some serious down sides to this the provider issued tv remote aimed at the set top box is the only way to change channels. The tv video will stream to my ipad and iphone with the eyetv app however if I want to change the channel I have to go to the computer and use the ip providers remote on the set top box. the eyetv on screen controller and or menu items will adjust the volume and change the size of the video. It is not perfect but I streamed the world series from my computer to my ipad while sitting out on my back porch.
  2. please excuse my ignorance. I checked, and as you correctly state High Sierra OSX 10.13 is not in beta. Yesterday I updated my three computers to High Sierra. I also upgraded two computers to EyeTV 3 version 7520. I use the eyetv app on my ipad and iphone. Both computers streamed video to my mobile devices over my home wifi network with no problem at all. Streaming live TV to my mobile devices over wifi is the main way I use EyeTv. I may have misunderstood the theme of this thread. when I read the messages I feared that my EyeTv set up would become useless if I upgraded to High Sierra. I took a chance and upgraded a mac mini (mid 2012) to 7520 and then High Sierra. The mac mini successfully streamed the live tv to both my mobile devices. I then repeated the process for a mac book air 11 inch 2013. This computer also successfully streamed video the my mobile devices. Under normal use I use the mac book air, my live tv screen size, on this computer is as small as possible. As to the High Sierra crashing EyeTv when accessing the EPG in full screen mode I have no knowledge of this, I have not used the EPG (TV Guide) for many years because I am not able to get it. I usually know what programs I wish to view. If I have to look for something I use a web page called zap2it which provides a good tv guide even though it will not interface with EyeTv. While I very rarely watch EyeTv on my computer, when I do and want to change channels I use the on screen channel changer. As I was reading the thread I assumed that high sierra had rendered EyeTv useless in its entirety. This is not the case at least for me and the way I use it. My issue is tomorrow I am upgrading to fiber optic for internet, phone and TV and have next to no idea how my EyeTv set up which I am very happy with is going to work if at all. I cant really find any information that I understand and may have purchase a TV set which brings up a whole bunch if issues. What I can add to this thread is that like all things with computers " your milage may vary". High Sierra and 7520 work for me and the way I use EyeTv. From what is in the thread there are some issues with using the EPG and the remote, and it sucks when a product does not function fully as intended coming out of an up grade. I hope you all who are having issues can find a work around you can live with until such time as the flawsare fixed. Again my apology for being so stupid for saying high sierra was in beta when it had not been so for morethan a month
  3. I use my eyetv with High Sierra 10.12.6 while not perfect it works quite well. as I understand it 10.13 is beta, I would wait until it becomes fully operational

    fiber optic

    I am getting fiber optic internet, tv and phone service very soon. I use EyeTV hybrid with my current cable tv set up. Currently I have no set top box I split the cable line ran one to my tv and the other to my EyeTV hybrid, and then into my computer. I use the eyetv app and my wireless network to stream tv to my iphone and ipad. I have had this set up for a long time, at first without the streaming to the mobile devices. I just watched TV on my computer, recorded shows ect. while it has never been 100% perfect it has been very very good. My question is three part. As I understand it I will need a separate set top box to be able to view programs independent of my TV set is this true? Secondly will my eyetv work with a cable that runs from my Set top box to the eyetv device?Thirdly will I be able to get the 232 channels to register with my eyetv. and lastly is there a device anywhere like my eyetv that works with fiber optic without the need for a set top box?
