GumBoocho 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2023 PLEASE EXPLAIN EyeTV 4 for each 64 bit MAC OS Now that I have been forced to "upgrade" MAC OS to 64 bit OS, I find that EyeTV3 does not work any more. That indicates that I have to upgrade EyeTV to EyeTV 4. Yet the last posting I have found by the new company selling EyeTV4 is that it had problems with Catalina. I found nothing about even newer OS like Big Sur or Ventura. This computer I am using right now has Big Sur in it. Please post up to date information. I found posted that in 2020 some fix would be issued for EyeTV 4, yet all I see is like EyeTV 4.0. So apparently the "promise" was not fulfilled. I am in the USA. Please give details for how EyeTV 4 will work with each of the 64 bit MacOS. Has the Genius abandoned its step-children? Exactly what can I expect if I buy EyeTV 4? What won't work that worked with 3? Please help your customers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick A 8 Report post Posted July 25, 2023 The current version of EyeTV 4 "works" with Big Sur (V 11.7.9) as well as it "worked" with prior MacOS versions. I have not tried EyeTV 4 with more recent versions of MacOS but I believe others have. See these threads and 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATSC-user 2 Report post Posted October 31, 2023 I am not having any big issues using EyeTV 4 (8531) on an M2 Pro Mac Mini running MacOS 13.6.1 with an (ATSC) EyeTV Hybrid USB stick. I will not be moving to Sonoma anytime soon; I am a late adopter. EyeTV 4 is a separate purchase, not a free upgrade, from EyeTV 3.x. For me, EyeTV 4 works well enough. Some people posting here seem to have many issues. I found that it was VERY important to use the no-cost EyeTV Reporter tool (available from Geniatech.EU) to remove all traces of EyeTV3 BEFORE I tried to install EyeTV 4. Making backups before doing the upgrade is always sensible, as with any upgrade. (Aside: I strongly suspect El Gato built EyeTV 3 on the CARBON interface, which was deprecated when MacOS moved to 64-bit. I believe GeniaTech had to do a lot of work to rewrite the 3.x software to support the COCOA interface required with a 64-bit MacOS.) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
