pweil 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2021 I've been using EyeTV for several years on an older machine. Now I'm trying to run it on a 2016 Macbook Pro running MacOX 10.15 (Catalina). The EyeTV 3 version I have is 3.6.9 (7416). When I launch it, it says the app must be updated and won't run. So I track down this site, and Geniatech has 3.6.9 (7521) listed as available for download. But clicking the link does nothing. And is this even the version I need? Will it run on Catalina? What versions of EyeTV3 and Mac OS are people running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pweil 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2021 Update: I finally was able to download the later build of 3.6.9. But launching it gives me this message: "The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information." So is there a version that works with Catalina? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either downgrade to Mojave https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/downgrade-macos-version/ or buy EyeTV4. I've been using 3.6.9 (7628) with Mojave for a while now and can't really say I'm that impressed: EyeTV3 either seems to hang or crash after running for a few days. What I've read about EyeTV4 isn't really encouraging either regarding stability + you can't use ETVComskip (at least, not yet)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pweil 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2021 Thanks. Hmm. Maybe I'll stick with running EyeTV 3 on my ten-year-old MacBook, both of which have served me well for a lot of years. What is the deal with Geniatech? Their .us domain contains no info at all about EyeTV 4. Their .euro domin does. From I've read so far, EyeTV 4 doesn't even sound stable. One wonders why they even bought out elgato. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmi 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2021 Despite my experience with Mojave I'd still say EyeTV 3 is the way to go, for now at least. Regarding Geniatech I have no clue. The US and EU always was a somewhat different market hardwarewise even in Elgato days but still the software was the same. With Geniatech this seems changed.

If you can avoid using EyeTV4 then do so! It's a huge downgrade from EyeTV 3 and is plagued with problems and missing functionality.

I think I will. As long as my old machine keeps running... I don't have to use EyeTV on my newer MacBook. I tried contacting Geniatech, but haven't heard back (and don't really expect to). Some companies seem to have no business being in the business they're in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petrosian 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2022 EyeTV3 is 32-bit software, and will not run on a MacOS past Mojave (10.14). In particular, it will not run on Catalina (10.15) onwards. This is a issue caused by Apple no longer providing any mechanism for 32-bit software to run on Catalina onwards. So you have to use EyeTV4, which is 64-bit software. But what I don't know is whether it supports old hardware, like my Nova-T stick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
