 How do I use the EyeTV Remote to control EyeTV?
Solution

Power

If EyeTV isn’t displaying a window, a Live TV Window is opened. If there are windows playing EyeTV content, the front playing window is closed, and the next window is brought to the front. If the frontmost window is an alert dialog, pressing the Power key is like pressing Cancel or hitting Esc. Holding the Power key down for more than 3 seconds sends your Mac to sleep (this feature is not supported for all TV tuner devices.)

Mute

Click this button to mute the sound, click it again to turn it back on.

Number keys
