Product Description:

Eye TV Digital Video Recorder frees you from TV schedules. Find and track all the programming you want to see, and watch it whenever you want to. Pause live television. Skip commercials. Record your favorite shows permanently using your CD burner. EyeTV will change the way you watch television.

What's new in this version:

In addition to a new, intuitive user interface, the software offers an extended program guide featuring intelligent searching and recording functionality, numerous new network features, and additional highlights. A full version of EyeTV 3 is available for $79.95, owners of EyeTV 2 can obtain the upgrade at a reduced price of $39.95.
  • New User Interface:
    The completely redesigned user interface offers a new programs window in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard look and feel: The sidebar on the left presents all functions and elements in hierarchical order. Recordings can be viewed in list view or in the Cover Flow mode made popular by iTunes. The player window now integrates a timeline display with basic playback controls. The semi-transparent On-Screen Menu has been redesigned entirely, inspired by user interfaces from modern set-top boxes. This allows comfortable control of EyeTV via a remote control or keyboard and mouse.
  • Smart Guides:
    Automated recordings using the built-in electronic program guide (EPG) have been extended exhaustively: A new, intelligent search function lets EyeTV 3 users combine multiple search criteria for refined EPG searches. Searches can be saved as Smart Guides. These show up in the programs window sidebar and update on-the-fly, like a Saved Search in Mac OS X 10.5. Search results can optionally be recorded automatically. Users can also specify how many of these recordings they want to keep in their EyeTV Archives, similar to Podcast subscriptions in iTunes.
  • New Options for Streaming and Sharing:
    EyeTV 3 network features have also been improved and extended: EyeTV Archives can now be shared with other users in your local network just like iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Wi-Fi Access, which enables watching recorded TV shows via wireless network on iPhone or iPod Touch, now supports additional smart-phones from several vendors. It also offers the option of lower resolution for lower-bandwidth video connections. Password protection has been added too.
  • Additional Highlights:
    Further additions to EyeTV 3's feature set include Smart Playlists, which group recorded TV shows using flexible search criteria. Smart Playlists also appear the sidebar. The video editor has been integrated into the player window as an overlay, no longer requiring users to exit the player window to cut and crop recordings. The results of channel scans can now be saved and restored, a boon for users who frequently travel between multiple locations. EyeTV 3?s support for AppleScript has been substantially improved, adding an integrated script menu and more robust script support.

Oh Elgato I do love your product. It is the best way to get TV into my Mac. However I do wish you would included a Cable Card slot into your devices. I know most US cable companies have to sell you a cable card if requested (they don't advertise this though).

According to MY application, I have the latest and it is still 3.2.1b10 (5616)

I'm running Snow Leopard and have NO problems having my Firewall on.

Instructions ARE available.

The one thing I haven't been able to get working is the iPhone app.

Do developers only wait until an OS is out to update their apps, 10.6 has been available for developer testing for a LONG time!
