This worked and I could see the channel information for the BBC channels in the EPG. Going to the Auto-Tune TV Channels screen of the assistant, I clicked Auto-Tune and let the assistant do its job. You usually use the assistant when setting up the device, but now and again I find it useful to “reset” the EyeTV settings, or when Freeview require a re-tune. I then went through the setup assistant which is accessed through the EyeTV menu.
EL GATO EYETV HD UPDATE
I tried to Update the DVB Programme Guide, but that didn’t work. I checked for software updates, no the software was up to date. I could view the channels, but no channel information was available, which meant I couldn’t (easily) set recordings, though with iPlayer I do that less and less now. I was having a few issues with the EPG as it was picking up any information from the BBC channels. It’s also possible to stream live TV and recorded programmes to mobile devices, not just on the local network, but it’s also possible do that over the internet.Īs with Digital TVs, the EyeTV uses the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) that is transmitted alongside the video. You can then export it to watch on mobile devices. The EyeTV 410 has a DVB-T digital TV tuner that allows you to both watch Freeview TV on your Mac, but also record it. I can’t quite believe I have been using EyeTV 410 for over fifteen years now and that the original Firewire based hardware is still working, though the software has gone through a few upgrades.
