![]() ![]() every channel came up with ATSC guide, If I try to switch any of them to the Geniatech guide eyetv crashes. I then performed the suggested the EyeTV Reporter uninstall and reinstalled eyetv. I installed 7528 and didn't have the great experience others did.įirst, I was unable to get the program guide to recognize more then 2 channels, after digging I realized that those 2 channels were just getting ATSC guide, not the guide from Geniatech. While I thank Geniatech for this update, I am not happy about how it happened because after TV Guide became unavailable and HDHomeRun support was dropped, communication with customers was handled very badly. ![]() (I do have Plex but it has its own issues.) We'll just keep cranking along with EyeTV. It turns out you can disable EyeTV Plus in Preferences, so that disappears from the left column.Īll in all I'm relieved that we no longer have to consider an alternative OTA recorder for our old faithful Mac mini. This is not available in the USA, so it was just taking up space. The left column of 7528 includes the EyeTV Plus service. The easiest way to do this is Select All first, then change one and all selected channels update. I had to go into Channels view and make sure all channels were set to EyeTVEPGPremium-USA, because they had lost their program guide setting after TV Guide went down. I had two zip codes entered testing revealed that it crashed if I left it that way, but no longer crashed if I deleted the second zip code so that there was only one ZIP code in there. At this point 7528 would either crash, or hang with the rainbow pinwheel of death. At the end it puts up the dialog box where you enter your zip code and choose how you get your TV (I choose OTA broadcast). Price went up from $20 to $30 a year, not happy about a 33% price increase. Now that the TV Guide subscription is available again, I paid to subscribe for another year. So, another 3 years of service at least. Of course, this is a moot point if Geniatech issues a 64-bit update of EyeTV. That means we can keep using this version of EyeTV at least until 10.14 stops getting security updates, which might be in 2022. But at least there is now a build that we can use as long as we don't need the Mac to go beyond macOS 10.14 (since 10.15 won't run 32-bit applications). While others in this thread have also noticed this, it doesn't seem to be mentioned in any release notes, so I'm wary that it might not be officially/permanently supported. (After TV Guide stopped working, we have been scheduling using TitanTV because it was not that much of a hassle, and could be done from any of our devices with a web browser.)ħ528 recognizes our HDHomeRun again. Up to this point I have kept our version at 7520, because later versions did not recognize our HDHomeRun. Some of these may not be news to you if you have installed versions after 7520:ħ528 installed and worked fine, picking up all existing recordings and schedules. I installed 7528 over the weekend, and made the following observations to pass on. What have been your experiences with version 7528, those who have installed it? I gather it DOES reinstate support for HD HomeRun (I am still using an EyeTV Hybrid). There is now a signup screen (which I didn't use) for EyeTV Plus, though the "Access Prohibited" message behind it is still in German. I noticed that simultaneously the number of recordings in EyeTV Plus in my working version (7524) suddenly dropped from around 50,000 or so to zero yesterday. Since I have a working version (7524) on my Media Center mac, using XMLTVListings (which is apparently $10/month cheaper than the new TV Guide), I don't see the point in installing the new version and don't plan to. It is 32-bit, so it is obsolete in 2 months when Catalina (Mac OS 10.15) comes out in September or October, since it will no longer support 32-bit applications. I downloaded it, installed on my non-media center Mac to determine software type. Let's use this thread to report experiences / problems with the new release. So I started a new thread on this version since other active threads are long. EyeTV 3 Version 7528 was released this morning (US time), announced by e-mail message by Angela Wu. ![]()
