It doesn't do this when playing locally DVR'd content. Also, while sharing out the DVR'd material to my 2nd Mac Mini, it skips ahead sometimes 10 seconds randomly. The stuttering is so bad with EyeTV that it's impossible to watch live TV. Right now, whether or not anyone here likes it, from all I've read, that's Windows Media Center. I don't want to run Windows either but I just cut the cord and am really looking for the best DVR solution available. Thx for the link, I haven't played around enough with the 3.5.4 presets and hadn't seen that. (I don't ask EyeTV to do this personally.) Seems it places the trancodes into iTunes for you. Here's a nice writeup of how EyeTV handles auto-export: Originally Posted by chefklc /forum/post/21298439 If there was ANY money to be made, don't you think there'd be at least one other viable competitor in this space? This latest "Apple TV HD export" option is a nice value add, however, especially with iPad2s selling like hotcakes, but if it comes at the expense of failing to address other core problems, well, that's just something we longtime EyeTV users got used to a long time ago.Įl Gato clearly got caught with their pants down with Lion and have been slow to react, given that developer previews had been available for months before actual release in July, but, run Windows instead? Sorry, no, most of us already found workarounds while waiting for El Gato to catch up. Not really much food for thought here: for the past 7 years or so El Gato has demonstrated that it cares only minimally about functionality and design, it keeps chugging along very slowly, very incrementally and still largely inelegantly because it knows it has no competition in OS X: there's no other way as easy to get high def TV onto your Mac. Check the stream info read out on your Fox channel. The PQ needless to say is superb but previous to today's update I would max the CPU and have ZERO idle, this caused all kinds of issues with the EyeTV controller, etc. I will say though my issues were mostly with my local NBC channel provided by Comcast with NO sub-channels it would show a min 18 to 19.5+ Mbps almost all the time. You should get this update automatically when running EyeTV. This update, so far, seems to have quieted the runaway CPU usage. The CPU usage hits above 80% when I am not using EyeTV, not exporting, not sharing, not updating the channel guide, you get my drift. I have a mini that is older and slower than yours and I have had many problems with stuttering and wild-ass CPU usage by EyeTV when it should be almost nil. Since they killed the user forums I don't know where to look for the list of changes that I read briefly in the update describer. 3.5.4 just came out today and lists lots of changes including the generic changes for Lion.
