EyeTV 3.0.1 (Mac OS X)

EyeTV 3 works for me  

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.

Spam Vaccine 1.3 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Spam Vaccine works for me  

I use Spam Vaccine in three web sites, and for me it's well worth its $19 price. Pasting encoded email addresses one by one would have been quite tedious, and using GIFs would have rendered one-click emailing inoperative. [alert admin]
