Unicable Support
EyeTV Sat, EyeTV Sat Free and EyeTV Netstream Sat* now support
Unicable setups. Unicable is a satellite TV technology that allows
multiple users to receive programming with a single coaxial cable.
Please see our Unicable FAQ for required hardware.
*For Unicable support, Netstream Sat firmware 1.1.3 build 393 (or higher) is needed.

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).
