"Excellent software with no problems"
Pros
Works very well on my eight year old iMac. The picture is smooth, with no stuttering as other reviewers have experienced, even when I have all the setting set to produce the highest quality picture. I do not have an HD video source to test EyeTV with so I don't know how that works. I have never experienced any of the problems/issues other users have reported. BTW I am using OS 10.7.5. Maybe if I was still on an earlier OS version I might experience some of these issues.
Cons
None......
Summary
EyeTV is a very good Mac program for recording TV. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to record TV on their Mac.

"uses more CPU"
"uses more CPU"
Pros
adds more features and is updated for more recent macs...
Cons
I have an older macbook (core2duo) and have noticed when set to "progressive scan" the video now stutters a little and is not smooth like it was in older versions of eyetv.
Summary
This is case of all older computers, new software demands more performance from the hardware. I am trying to downgrade the eyetv software to an older version now.....

Pros
Easy to install and setup
Great UI
Cons
Unreliable
Summary
This is potentially a great piece of software. However you need to be checking it regularly to see if it works. In my experience it regularly forgets to stop a recording and will just fill up the HDD on which you are storing programs.
I'm using it on a Mac Mini (2011) with a 1TB HDD and an Elgato NetStream. The usual scenario is that i program one or two programs to record during the week, go away, come back on Friday night, and it will have not stopped a random recording from early in the week, so that I have a show that should be say a 30 min or one hour recording, but it will have recorded the next 24 or 36 hours on that station. I am now using V3.5.6 but all versions seem to have the same problem.
Customer support has worked hard to try to rectify, but I am giving up and will purchase a stand alone PVR to replace.

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.
