How many Tuners does EyeTV Netstream 4C have?

[Vanessa 0]

EyeTV Netstream 4C has four cable tuners that support the DVB-C standard.

You can receive up to 4 channels simultaneously, using a Mac, PC, Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.

EyeTV and THC can receive a signal from two tuners at the same time.

I didn't listen to myself but hoped you were right. So.

Got me a Netstream 4C again. Running on a iMac (2013, 3.5Ghz, 12GB ram, 27") only EyeTV (v3.6.8 - 7514) running.

It is not, I repeat not possible to either record, watch or watch/record more than 2 channels at the same time.

Tried the terminal trick ("defaults write com.elgato.eyetv “max SAT2IP tuners” -int 4") but got error message ("defaults[60321:8187234] Unexpected argument tuners”; leaving defaults unchanged."). Trick does not work.

On the system there are 2 com.elgato.eyetv.plist (in /users/shared/library/ preferences & /users/me/library/preferences)in neither there is a entry pertaining to number of tuners. So no idea where I could do it manually with Plist Editor.

Restarted EyeTV, iMac, no difference.

 

Solution?

That line uses curvy quotes. Look carefully. Replace them with normal, straight quotes and the command will work
