It performed as expected during the review.
Eyetv remote full#
The EyeTV 3 software is a full featured DVR, with built in program guide, scheduler, series recorder, and timeshifting/pausing live TV.
You can also use your Mac remote, if your Macintosh has one. After a few setup screens, success again:Īs with Windows, the EyeTV remote fully controls the software. I used the same Digital over the air antenna, and (not surprisingly!) found the same channels. Installation went without a hitch:Īs in the case with Windows, the setup detects the device and walks you though setting up/detecting channels, and determining what guide you should be using based on your service.
Eyetv remote install#
On the Mac you’ll need to install the EyeTV 3 software to get to the point of viewing/recording video. Phyiscal installation on the Mac is identical.
Eyetv remote 720p#
Below are two frames from recordings made in WMC with the EyeTV of 1080i and 720p programs:Īs expected, digital TV captures (and live viewing) work beautifully. A small clip of the ABC nightly news (720p) is available here. I captured a few seconds of our local NBC and ABC stations to get 1080i and 720p video. Windows 7 can’t take a screen shot of a full-screen video overlay, so first here is a shot of PBS in a window. I tuned to a couple of HD channels and verified that both 720p and 1080i HDTV works fine.
The EyeTV remote is fully supported under WMC and, assuming you can see the dongle itself with the remote, works fine from normal “couch” distance of 6-10 feet. Very promising! Continuing on for another few setup screens finally leads to victory: This is showing that, when plugged into my very large HDTV antenna coax cable (we’ll get back to that at the end, I promise!) WMC and the EyeTV agree that they can see lots of HDTV over the air channels. One of the many many windows you will see is:
Fire up WMC and it will walk you through the configuration for your TV source. Overall, Elgato's EyeTV app looks exciting and it is a welcome add-on for EyeTV for the Mac.After a while, Windows will tell you it’s ready to use. Video has to be prepared prior to viewing on the iPhone or iPod Touch. Already recorded video will need to be converted in order to be viewed on the iPhone-if not, you'll see the error below. If that isn't sufficient, users have the option of configuring their routers manually or using a dynamic DNS service to make the connection.ĮyeTV running on your Mac converts live TV to the correct format for streaming to the iPhone, ensuring optimal picture quality.
Eyetv remote update#
The app can also find and access a remote Mac using " My EyeTV," a free service introduced with the EyeTV 3.2 update that allows you to connect to your Mac using any router that supports UPnP or NAT-PMP protocols.
