After a few setup screens, success again:Īs with Windows, the EyeTV remote fully controls the software. I used the same Digital over the air antenna, and (not surprisingly!) found the same channels. Installation went without a hitch:Īs in the case with Windows, the setup detects the device and walks you though setting up/detecting channels, and determining what guide you should be using based on your service.

On the Mac you’ll need to install the EyeTV 3 software to get to the point of viewing/recording video. Phyiscal installation on the Mac is identical.

Below are two frames from recordings made in WMC with the EyeTV of 1080i and 720p programs:Īs expected, digital TV captures (and live viewing) work beautifully. A small clip of the ABC nightly news (720p) is available here. I captured a few seconds of our local NBC and ABC stations to get 1080i and 720p video. Windows 7 can’t take a screen shot of a full-screen video overlay, so first here is a shot of PBS in a window. I tuned to a couple of HD channels and verified that both 720p and 1080i HDTV works fine. The EyeTV remote is fully supported under WMC and, assuming you can see the dongle itself with the remote, works fine from normal “couch” distance of 6-10 feet. Very promising! Continuing on for another few setup screens finally leads to victory: This is showing that, when plugged into my very large HDTV antenna coax cable (we’ll get back to that at the end, I promise!) WMC and the EyeTV agree that they can see lots of HDTV over the air channels. One of the many many windows you will see is: Fire up WMC and it will walk you through the configuration for your TV source. After a while, Windows will tell you it’s ready to use.
