I upgraded to eyetv 4 on a Big Sur/eyetv request/demand and contacted eyetv and here is part of their reply;
Here is some basic information regarding EyeTV 4:
- EyeTV 4 (64 Bit) is astandalone- & lifetime license software, which is available for purchase at an introductory price of 29,95 Euro incl. VAT.
- EyeTV 4 (64 Bit) supports macOS 10.14 Mojave and higher.
- There is no direct update from EyeTV 3 (32-Bit) to EyeTV 4 (64-Bit). It is a separate piece of software which needs to be purchased separately.
- EyeTV 3 (32-Bit) License Keys do not work with EyeTV 4 (64-Bit).
- Customers who have purchased a new EyeTV 3 (32-Bit) License or a new EyeTV tuner after the 1st of November 2019, please contact GTEsales@geniatech.com or our customer support, with proof of purchase. An EyeTV 4 (64-Bit) License Key will be sent to these customers by E-Mail.
I don't have a problem with this personally as eyetv 4 is completely redone software etc. and I have been using a Diversity dual tuner stick and before that a 300e hybrid stick for at least 15 years with not one real problem that I can remember, absolutely awesome and a perfect fit for Mac longevity.
The other very reassuring thing is Geniatech is a German company and that means everything to reliability, and this comment comes from a person who's ancestors were Polish Jews, well, they were efficient after all, and no laughing please, I'm serious.
My advise is pay your money and enjoy the ride.
