What's new in EyeTV 3.4?
Experience EyeTV on iPad
EyeTV 3.4 includes optimized support for playback on iPad, and has a simplified interface for exporting content. EyeTV 3.4 is required for streaming of live TV on the iPad using the EyeTV for iPhone/iPad app, which will be released in the near future.
EyeTV HD - A Perfect Companion to iPad
EyeTV 3.4 adds support for EyeTV HD, a full-featured DVR that captures television from your cable or satellite receiver and delivers it live to your Mac in full HD. Available in North America, EyeTV HD records in H.264 format, which delivers stunning quality at impressively low bit rates. EyeTV HD features a unique dual-stream capture mode, so you can record in iPad and iPhone format at the same time.
EyeTV HD enables super-fast exports to iTunes from EyeTV. It is also possible to stream live TV, including high definition TV, to iPad or iPhone, using the optional EyeTV for iPhone/iPad app.
EyeTV HD is the only solution that gives you full access to all your premium content by connecting your Mac directly to your cable or satellite receiver. EyeTV HD comes with an infrared remote and channel changer cable (“IR blaster”) for automatic control of the receiver.
iPad Videos from EyeTV are rich in program details
The Videos app on the iPad displays content exported to iPad format with the movie summary and cast descriptions, as well as beautiful cover art.
One-Click Export
The one-click export buttons in the toolbar can now be configured to export to iPad format, as well as iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV.
You can change the behavior of these buttons in the Guide section of the EyeTV Preferences.
Live Television Streaming to iPad
We've extended the streaming capabilities of EyeTV to the optional EyeTV app for iPhone, which will soon be available for iPad. The controls and video size is now optimized for the larger screens and more powerful playback offered by the iPad.
To use the app, first enable the streaming features of EyeTV for Mac in EyeTV Preferences:

Bug Fixes
• EyeTV Sat: A problem where the EyeTV infrared remote would repeat the same key has been resolved.
• EyeTV’s CPU utilization and memory usage have been reduced when no windows are open.
• The EyeTV Application size is smaller.
• The FF/REW buttons on the Apple remote now work as intended with longer key presses.
• A problem where EyeTV USB would hang has been resolved.
• A cosmetic problem where long channel numbers would not display correctly in EyeTV’s on screen menu has been resolved.
Supported Systems
EyeTV 3.4 is a Universal application, which works on both Power PC and Intel Macs. An Intel Mac is required for streaming to the iPhone app.
Note that this is the last version which will support PowerPC. All future updates will require an Intel Mac.
EyeTV 3.4 will work with OS 10.5.8 or better. However, we recommend Mac OS X 10.6.3 or later with all software and security updates installed.
Installation
If this is the first time you have launched any version of EyeTV 3, you will be asked to enter the EyeTV 3 activation key. If you purchased an EyeTV 3 Upgrade product, EyeTV 3 will check whether an EyeTV 2 installation is present on your hard drive. If EyeTV 3 cannot find a previous EyeTV 2 installation, it will ask you to enter an eligible EyeTV 2 activation key as well.
Keep all EyeTV activation keys in a safe place, in case you need to reinstall the EyeTV software. Your activation key is also used to activate and identify your Electronic Program Guide account (see below).
After you activate EyeTV, the EyeTV Setup Assistant will guide you through the complete setup and configuration of EyeTV 3. You should complete each step of the EyeTV Setup Assistant. When prompted, please select your country and let EyeTV auto-tune for channels — this is necessary to ensure the correct initial setup of the built-in Electronic Programming Guide (EPG).
