EYEMISSELGATO

Geniatech has an online store which appears to offer "legato type dvr boxes,"https://shop.geniatech.us/product-category/eyetv/tv-tuner/ including an EYTV U6. https://shop.geniatech.us/product/eyetv-u6/

Users of HD Home Run in North America, if they wish to leave EyeTV, can use "Channels" or "Plex." TV-Mosaic and TVHeadend do not work in North America.

LOL

I suspect Ton is not in North America, neither of those solutions would work for us. There are products like Channels and Plex for Homerun, Tablo is a solution for us, Amazon has a system now that will record OTA and send it to your tv's. Amazon's solution includes free lifetime program guide. Tivo will work. None of them work like EYETV, though, through the Mac. And you will have to start over and replace all your hardware with new hardware for at least 100 dollars or more, and (except for Amazon) pay even more per year for a program guide. It is interesting that more companies are entering this space, providing OTA and even cable card DVR capabilities and whole house solutions, while Eyetv languishes and has just about withdrawn from the North American Market. The replacement program guide systems that the forum has detailed will keep your Eyetv hardware working indefinitely. It would be nice if Geniatech actually "restores" the program guide function, but those who spend their time asking for a refund of a few dollars instead of just fixing it themselves may be waiting indefinitely.

Sorry for misinterpreting you when you said, "At any rate... I am OUT OF HERE for good. They've pulled the cork, so I'm getting out before the ship completely goes down. Off to find another hardware/software service. CIAO" Welcome back!

The record all button works for Schedules Direct if you use the JSON "J" data service, because it provides series information. I use it regularly.

I have it running on my old Mac mini running snow leopard so I would say it is not true.

To answer your specific question, on the signup page for Schedulesdirect, choose "Non-distributed" and personal research way at the bottom. Non-distributed: Personal research Personal research (XMLTV)

Don't need to worry about the approved apps. Don't know where you are in the process, but here is the guide put together by others listing the step by step process. There are many posts about this throughout this TV Guide thread... 2nd version of schedules direct .pdf 2nd version of schedules direct with mistakes.pages 2nd version of schedules direct with mistakes.pdf

I'm using the "JSON" service at Schedulesdirect.com. Works great for me.

Correct. I can leave some of my minis on older software. The OTA broadcasters are looming on the horizon, though, with updates to the ATSC system allowing them to block recording in the future.

Bye Bye. I looked out there, and it is hard to find recording software as flexible and powerful for the mac as Eyetv. I suppose I could have spent hundreds of dollars to start over for my 2 locations and three computers...or spend a few hours to have a complete solution. For free. Adios. Good luck.

Yes, the 2 EPG services are fee based. I tried the free week on schedules direct.com, and got my setup working in a day or two. Then I subscribed for 2 months for I believe 6 dollars, just in case it didn't work long term or TV Guide came back. I think the full year is $25. Sure, it was 6 bucks I shouldn't have to had paid, but it was worth it. Now I am not beholden to Geniatech and their whims. I fully control the scheduling. I've had questions, and someone from Shedulesdirect.com answered me in 3 hours! Try to get an answer from Geniatech. This alternate schedule system uses functionality existing forever in EyeTV, it sends the schedule into the program just as the makers had intended to allow. No hack at all. Another potential bonus: the alternate sourcing using the directions from the forum works on a low level in the system...it is not likely to break with updates. I use it on an ancient mac mini running snow leopard, and a 2014 mac mini running High Sierra and both work perfectly. Of course, with the next apple update, if they remove all 32 bit resources, all bets are off.

I have used the various resources from this thread and the others and also internet resources that these threads based their directions on and I have a fully automated replacement for the Geniatech TV Guide that is fully functional on three computers in 2 states all using schedulesdirect.com. It is not a hack or a workaround but a fully functional alternative. I have no programming skills or experience, all I can do is bring my English Major skills to typing in my own names and passwords and modifying the procedures to suit my location. The smart guides absolutely work if you use the JSON (J) version of the downloads from schedulesdirect.com. I had to make new smart guides as the previous ones did not seem to populate from the new data resource, and, as previously mentioned, I needed to put repeat to false on the guide choices as it does not have a "new" tag on the data from schedulesdirect.com . If I can do it, anyone can. If anyone prefers to wait for Geniatech's solution I hope you have an abundance of patience and don't mind missing a lot of recordings in the interim. Or forever. The participants of this thread found real permanent solutions to the TV Guide problem in about 2 days. Geniatech claims to have been at it for over a month now. You be the judge.

I think the trick here is to make sure you have saved your new channel lineup (in Channels, at the bottom below the Country selector, the Service drop down menu.) Click on the dropdown for Service, and go all the way down to save channels, name it something new, and the xmltv lineup will be saved, even after a restart.

The Geniatech US website (https://shop.geniatech.us) had a notice for weeks that they were not taking orders until Feb 13 because of holidays. I suspect they just got back and had spent no time working on this up until now.

Thanks for your work and recap of the procedures. One shortcut I took to automating the updates was using Launchd Task Scheduler, available in the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/launchd-task-scheduler/id620249105?mt=12 after making an automator script application.

I have also tried various renaming schemes, and cut and pasted the same name in both eyetv and titan, with no luck. Always says it can't find the station even when it clearly has the correct number and name, and I have to manually enter the correct channel with an edit on eyetv.

I wrote to Genitech and got this reply: Thank you for your request.There is something wrong with the subscription. We are fixing it. We will inform you immediately once it is back to normal.Kind regards,Angela 01/28/2019 18:13 - Geniatech - EyeTV 3 OS X Support wrote:

It still works on my setup, color coded and episode info. Did you try to force update?
