EyeTV ReviewEyeTV 3 works for me - Version: 3.0.1, 5/9/2008 01:38PM PST

I've been a pleased user of EyeTV for over 17 months. It's running on a dual-core 1.83GHz Intel Mini with 1.25GB of RAM. The tuner, an EyeTV hybrid, is connected to an old RadioShack TV antenna in the attic. I've recorded hundreds of hours of HD material, most of it from the local PBS outlet (KLRU).

I used EyeTV 2 for over a year before upgrading to EyeTV 3. The only problems I can recall in version 2 were (1) occasionally the displays of schedules and recordings would show everything in duplicate, and (2) when a recorded program was being played while the recording was in progress, the end of the recording process would switch the view to whatever the channel happened to be transmitting next. Problem (1) has not reappeared since I upgraded to EyeTV 3. Problem (2) persists in version 3, but it's easy enough to deal with once you recognize what's just happened.

For my money the best improvement in version 3 is the new navigation bar in the play-recording screen. It makes navigating through a program so easy that I never bother with the "remote" controller any more.

EyeTV CommentaryH.264 Most Compelling Feature in 3.0.2 - Version: 3.0.2, 5/9/2008 07:50AM PST

H.264 is really the big deal in this version, but not until the US changes to H.264 for over-the-air HD from MPEG-2 -- the end result is many more digital channels over the same spectrum due to H.264's increased bandwidth efficiency! Anyone know when the US is due to transition to H.264?! Satellite has changed in the US many months ago... OTA is slower to change, though, due to more government involvement, I believe.
