What's new in this version:

New Features

For EyeTV Hybrid (US 2009 and EU 2008 models), as well as some older devices, when capturing analog video, the timeshift setting in Preferences > Devices is now applied while recording. When timeshifting is off, recordings will use less CPU, and will display with a lower latency.
Quit and Sleep commands were added to EyeTV's overlay menu.
Pressing the "Stop" button on the infrared remote control while playing back a recording in the EyeTV overlay menu now features an option to delete the recording.
Added support for widescreen (16:9) analog capture for all recent Elgato branded hardware. To enable widescreen capture, select "Stretch" from the View > Aspect Ratio menu. This feature is for capture of sources set to output 16:9 pictures squeezed into a standard definition output, usually set top boxes and DVD players. The output device should be set to 16:9 or "wide" output (as if it were feeding a widescreen TV).
To cycle through EyeTV's different aspect ratio options, select View > Aspect Ratio > Rotate or press Command-Option-5.
For NTSC set top boxes connected via RF modulation, EyeTV now supports channels 2 through 69 instead of 3 and 4.
To aid in solving problems downloading TV Guide data, EyeTV now features a Gemstar Program Guide Diagnostics window, accessible from the Help menu. In order to obtain the most current TV Guide data, EyeTV now additionally downloads data for the second and seventh day out.

New Hardware

Support was added for the Devolo dLAN TV Sat, a DVB-S2 network tuner.

Permissions prevent execution by non admin users - Version: 3.1.2, 6/26/2009 05:37PM PST

I had to go into the EyeTV folder in Applications and "chmod -R o+rx EyeTV.app" to enable ordinary users (those without admin group membership) to run this.

EyeTV is now dead to me since it requires $19.95 a year for the program guide in my area. Too bad since it is 4 stars otherwise.
