EyeTV program guide no longer working

The geniatech epg server is no longer responding to EyeTV internal application queries:

      Standard query 0x8133 HITPS aaa.epg.geniatech.com

      Standard query  8x8133 HTTPS aaa.epg-geniatech.con

      Standard query response 8x8133 HTTPS aaa.epg-geniatech.com SOA dns7.hichina.com

The geniatech help desk is not responding either....

Corrected typos in text scanned from an image - should have said:

      Standard query 0x8133 HTTPS aaa.epg.geniatech.com

      Standard query  0x2205  A aaa.epg-geniatech.con

      Standard query response 0x8133 HTTPS aaa.epg-geniatech.com SOA dns7.hichina.com

Yep I noticed this too.  The final successful update was on 19 October 2025.

Since that date, we get the Update failed (could not connect to server) error.

Geniatech appears to be slowly abandoning anything to do with EyeTV.  They certainly will never update the software ever again (even though they still sell v4.0.0 (8532) which was released in 2020).  We are lucky they at least made it as far as a 64-bit version that runs on Apple Silicon, and that it still works on MacOS Tahoe (26).  But at some point, a MacOS update will break EyeTV and that will be that.

Over-the-air DVB-T guide updates within EyeTV still work.
