Good stuff -- but have the right network - Version: 0.5.4, 4/10/2006 07:39PM PST

The product works. That in itself is pretty amazing. I've tried to make it work on an Airport network (with 802.11b WAPs) and the latency is too much... playback will freeze within a few seconds of starting with default settings. Making use of the transcoding will get you MUCH further, but one has to play with the settings to find what works. Network latency due to use of hubs rather than switches, distance of wireless transceiver from airport client, other traffic on network or server activity ... they all play into improving success. But just for the sheer technical joy of 'doing it', this product really rocks. After two hours of playing and watching, I rediscovered that there's absolutely nothing on worth my time. 57 channels and there's nothing on - springsteen.

Great! - Version: 0.5.4, 2/2/2006 09:19AM PST

Installed, works great, with just a couple of clicks (already had VLan client). Streaming from my Mac Mini (connected to eYeTV 200) through Airport (802.11g) is awesome. I've used the connection on another (wired) Mac Mini and my PowerBook (wireless). I've also configured it on my wife's PC laptop (wireless) and while not as nice as the Mac client with the right syntax for the streaming URL works fine.

Great job!
I look forward to any future release and if I use it for more than a month (as I expect I will) I will gladly send in a PayPal donation.

Not for USB Wonder 2.0 - Version: 0.5.3, 8/3/2005 08:05AM PST

Note that this does NOT support the USB Wonder 2.0, which ISN'T the same as the EyeTV USB which it does support. The USB Wonder is the only model that doesn't have on-board video compressor. I'm considering replacing my USB Wonder with something that CyTV does support, preferrably a FireWire model.

0.5.2 works with Tiger 10.4.x! - Version: 0.5.2, 5/26/2005 10:39AM PST

I confirmed that 0.5.2 works in Tiger 10.4.1. Good stuff. Thanks!

I haven't been able to use with Tiger 10.4 - Version: 0.5.1-pre10, 5/10/2005 09:51PM PST

I had been happily using CyTV, but as soon as I upgraded to Tiger 10.4, CyTV Server crashes every time I attempt to launch it. :-( I hope there is a fix soon.

Fantastic. It works brilliantly with wirebased ethernet network. Wireless (airport extreme), just doesn't seem quick enough & it stutters & pasues all the time.
Great job - many thanks

Absolutely Awesome, even in Beta - Version: 0.5.1-pre8, 3/12/2005 11:15AM PST

Support this developer! Never thought I would be able to watch EyeTV on my home computer on my box at work. Through a firewall (two, actually). Through a proxy server. On-the-fly compression works great, allowing me to serve content on an ASDL line with only about 350Kbs bandwidth on a mere G4 DP/450 (which is below the developer's spec). Donate now!

Does not work with EyeTV 1.7 - Version: 0.5, 2/7/2005 08:34PM PST

When launching cytv server or changing preferences, many applescript errors are displayed, causing cytv not to work.
