 Automatically Switching on the Computer to Record
Solution The EyeTV software can power on your Mac to enable scheduled recordings to run. Automatic power-on occurs two minutes before the scheduled recording starts, in order to allow your Mac time to start up. For this to work, set the General section of the Preferences to Start EyeTV when a device is plugged in. Furthermore, automatic login must be enabled in the System Preferences. This feature will power on your Mac, and potentially activate other peripherals that receive power over the FireWire or USB buses.

Please Note: if you have extended the scheduled recording time in the Recording section of the Preferences, EyeTV will launch two minutes before the padded time. For example, with the two minutes of default padding, EyeTV will launch four minutes before the scheduled time.
