[edit] EyeTV Hybrid
Hybrid works for LiveTV and manual programming. The Program Guide won't start—most likely since the EyeTV Setup Assistant won't load and has no info on the EPG database to download. --Maraklov 20:01, 7 July 2007 (CEST)
Try firing up the EyeTV Helper.app before starting EyeTV - it might help (it resolved my problem of not being able to access the Programs window in EyeTV 2.1 and having an empty program guide in the fullscreen menu (2.4.1)). Otherwise try to copy the contents of /Library/Application Support/EyeTV from a Mac which has EyeTV working. --Stemann 17:54, 10 July 2007 (CEST)
[edit] Conversion
Is there an easy way to automate converting .eyetv files to AppleTV/Perian supported filetype? It would be nice to have them record, then auto-convert and drop into the ~/Movies dir. --Maraklov 20:01, 7 July 2007 (CEST)

[edit] Questions about eyeTV
I'll likely upgrade my TV after Christmas, and I'm very curious about going with the AppleTV. I already have eyeTV on my Mac, and I love it, but that doesn't help me in the living room unless I'm willing to leave the Mac on... which I'm not. So eyeTV on the AppleTV is extremely interesting to me.
But it seems one of the big problems is that there's no good tuner that does NTSC, ATSC and DVB-C. Is this correct? It appears the Hybrid only does the first two? This is an issue here in Toronto, because we have a bit of ATSC OTA, but a lot of DVB-C I'd also like to use.
Even ATSC / NTSC (cable) is interesting to me, but only if it's not a hassle. By "hassle" I mean that I'd have to switch inputs or something to move from one signal to the other. Is there a way in eyeTV to make a completely custom channel list, one that spans sources?

If one copied the app off the EyeTV CD, and ran the program for the first time as on any normal mac, would this not create all the libraries as it should? Seem to get nowhere either way - EyeTV does not recognise DVBT Stick (UK)--Bdavjones 18:34, 2 February 2008 (CET)
Does anyone have this working yet? I am on Take 2, and would be very interested in following up and willing to try different experements on my Apple TV. Tinpanharry 16:34 15 June 2008 (CST)
[edit] HDHomeRun Works
I was experimenting with my dual HD tuner HDHomeRun (made by SiliconDust but also supported by the EyeTV). Seems to work great on non-HD channels; 720p is watchable--I can usually average about 40fps (of 60)-- but 1080i is not. I think deinterlacing is more than the aTV can handle. I don't think there's a way to turn that off and, say, let the TV handle it. Anyone else experiencing the same with their usb tuners? The great thing about the ethernet based tuner is it doesn't require a usb slot so you can keep it up open for a keyboard / mouse / etc without a hub. --SpinThis! 21:59, 3 October 2008 (CEST)
[edit] Resolution Changes
I still have yet to play with the resolution to get it fill up my Panny plasma... might have to experiment with system prefs and/or 3rd party resolution tweakers to see what I can get. --SpinThis! 21:59, 3 October 2008 (CEST)
