"Very good, but..."
Version: EyeTV 3.5.1
Pros
see below and please post if I am missing something
Cons
see below and please post if I am missing something
Summary
..This version is a bit of a step back IMHO.
The only thing I can see as that step backward is that to access the main onscreen menu one has to go from fullscreen to a windowed screen thus making it very "Un-TV like" and making it more like a computer program.
My computer IS my TV/entertainment center and when in TV mode I don't want it to even resemble a computer (if/when possible)...having to resize the main TV screen to reveal the guide and recordings is VERY clunky.
version 3.4 is NOT like that and I have gone back to that version until there is a fix.
I may be missing something because no one else seems to be complaining about this change...if I am please post a reply to this review. -

"vivid tv and easier to use"
Version: EyeTV 3.4.3
Pros
The tv shows can be transferred to the iPod Touch.
Multicolored schedules makes for easier reading.
In case you misplace the included remote the Apple remote works fine as well.
I love captions in case of a phone call or other interruption.Cons
I am worried about the amount of heat produced by Eye Hybrid Tv.
It looks as though it is a fitting member of the Apple family of computers
but heat is the enemy no matter how it appears.Summary
I have used Eye Hybrid thru most of the hundred episodes of Monk, countless
NCSI adventures, actually look forward to new shows that appear in the summer.
I have a 52 inch incredible plasma but find the Eye Hybrid Tv a more practical device since It offers so much. I must admit that when I view my conventional
tv the picture blows me away. Miss mail and research or go conventional; I mostly
choose to watch tv on a smaller screen that my first Mac, the SE/30, which
had a seven inch screen. -
"good like we know"
Version: EyeTV 3.4.3
Pros
easy to use, big functionality, even the record function works quite fine and it is possible to use it with vlc-player.
Cons
with the new version snatshot won't work. therefore I went back to 3.4.1
-
"Good software but less stable than it should be."
Version: EyeTV 3.4.2
Pros
EyeTV makes it very easy to use my iMac as a DVR
Cons
EyeTV is not as stable as it should be. The software, very occasionally, will lock up requiring a force-quit. Fortunately the instability of EyeTV has not caused any lost recordings.
(iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB ram Snow Leopard 10.6.4)Summary
I love EyeTV (hence I gave it 4 stars). If Elgato improved the software's stability I would give it a rating of 5 stars. Elgato might stop adding new features and simply work on improving stability for the next point release!
EyeTV does what it was designed to do: it makes it easy to record TV programs and use my iMac as a PVR.
BTW I do not use an iPad, iPod or AppleTV so have not reviewed any of EyeTV's feature related to those products.
