Solution
Installation


This release is now available from the EyeTV menu > Check For Updates.

The build number at the time of release is 3.5.5 (6847).

If that doesn't work, then while EyeTV 3 is running, please open this link in a web browser:

eyetv://checkforupdates?build=6852

That will download EyeTV 3.5.5 (build 6852) - this is the current build. 


Support For Game Capture HD


EyeTV now supports Game Capture HD, Elgato's brand new high definition game recorder. Elgato Game Capture HD enables you to record PlayStation, Xbox or iPad gameplay or any other HD content via unencrypted HDMI or component connections. Learn more about Elgato Game Capture HD at gamecapture.com!

Please Note:

If you already own EyeTV 3, and have a full EyeTV 3 activation key, then EyeTV 3.5.5 will support Elgato Game Capture HD.  Elgato Game Capture HD will automatically appear in the long list of supported hardware.

If you own Elgato Game Capture HD, but have never owned EyeTV 3 before, then please wait for another announcement soon.  At that time, we will be able to give Elgato Game Capture HD users special access to EyeTV 3.5.5.  This will happen later in July 2012.


New and Improved HD Export Options


EyeTV now supports 1080p exports for 3rd generation Apple TVs and the new iPad (3rd generation). You can set the button in the programs window to offer one-click exports to H.264 files up to 1080p, depending on the original resolution. If the selected recording has been broadcast in 720p or lower, EyeTV will maintain the original resolution.

The iPad preset has been optimized to offer improved 720p quality. These new and improved presets are also available as an auto-export and export options.



General Improvements
 

•  Improved progressive scan
•  Updated transponder and satellite information
•  Improved performance of EyeTV Sat Free
•  Added support for playback of EyeTV Mobile recordings
•  Miscellaneous bug fixes


Supported Systems


EyeTV 3.5.5 and all future EyeTV updates are only available for Mac computers with an Intel processor.

Power PC processors are no longer supported for future software updates.

EyeTV 3.5.5 will work on an Intel Mac with OS 10.5.8 or higher. However, we recommend Mac OS X 10.7.4 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).
