EyeTV-T2 not working

Recommended Posts

On MacOS 10.11.6 and 10.12.4 with Eyetv-T2-Stick and the newest software EyeTV 3.6.9(7514) I only have stuttering Video, very high Cpu-Usage and constantly crashes.

The old DVB-T Stick was working fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Mike

Hi All, 

since the switch off / switch to DVB-T2 HD in Germany we recognised that some customer face unexpected performance issues, when receiving T2 HD H.265 this is due that the broadcaster has changed the surrounding technical parameters which is vers the Pilot - Run since Mai 2017 with 6 HD Channels, which has worked out pretty well with eyetv T2 / T2 lite + eyetv 3.6.9 (7514), thats key issue - the other issue was that the customers have not find the time to read the basic requirements

  • Für den Empfang von DVB-T2 HD TV-Support 1080p/50 (Deutschland)ist ein Prozessor von Intel/AMD vergleichbar mit, oder besser als der Intel Core i5 2,5 GHz ,
    sowie mindestens 4 GB RAM (Arbeitsspeicher) und macOS10.9 ,oder neuer, erforderlich.
  • In order to receive DVT-T2 HD TV-Support 1080p/50 (Germany),
    you have to have an Intel/AMD processor which is better or equal to the Intel Core i5 2,5 GHz,
    as well as at least 4 GB of RAM(random access memory) and macOS 10.9 or newer.

Anyway - we already started already - since we able to reproduce it in our labs in germany / china - expect a solution soon.

stay tuned - Mike

Thanks for this post!

I have an iMac Quadcore i7 with 2,8 GHz and 16 GB RAM, that should be enough.

Hope there will be a solution soon.

My iMac has an 3,1GHz Intel Core i5 with 16GB ...  running eyetv 3.6.9 (7514).

 

It's definitly the software which makes the video stutter!

 

I've recorded some videos (1,5 hours), converted the mpg-file in the eyetv-archive with iFFmeg to AppleTV (mp4), and the video plays fluently!

 

So please keep an eye to eyeTV!

I can confirm that: when I start the mpg file without converting with the video software Iina, video and sound are running pretty well and synchronized an the same Mac!

So it has to be a problem of EyeTV3.

I hope they get it solved (very) soon, otherwise the gadget will be returned.

Hey there.

I cannot choose the EYETV DVB-T2 LITE divice in my EyeTv3 version at all. I updated it to the latest available version. No chance with that. The device list seems to be almost as old as my last Terratec device. 

Is there a way to update the device list to choose the right device in EyeTv3? Or do I have to buy it AGAIN for a proper listing?

I`m very confused.

Kind regards

With Build 7516 it's much better than before, but still not fluent. Both, ARD and ZDF. My system meets the requirements. Uh, yes, after about 5 minutes of play eyetv crashed on my Mac. Latest OS.

Regards.

Tks Geniatech, reception is definitely better now with the latest build - but there is still occasional stuttering on ZDF channels. Also, export to Toast Titanium and edit function does not work. 

 

Best

I just tried the new software 7516 - it is not running on my macbook (Sierra 10.12.4). The same problems - all the time shuttering screen, no picture, break down ....

Is there any service from geniatech? I've got no answer, I only got the ticket number (Ticket#2017040216000473) but no reaction ....

Hi,

for me eyeTV 3 runs now much more stable with version 7.6.9 build 7516 on a HDHomeRun CONNECT Box.

My Hardware is iMac (Retina 5K, 27", End 2015) with 64GB and Intel i7.

No crashes, no shuttering, sound is in sync - so far with two open EyeTV 3 windows.
