It doesn't even do any useful translations as EyeTV stores everything initially in it's own evil format (which takes about.
All EyeTV does is hook up to TitanTV for listings, record the feed and then translate the feed. The EyeTV software is essentially useless without a big honking piece of hardware next to it in order to convert TV signals into the Mac. So this isn't that odd of a tale of copy protection woe except we should remember one thing. Which undoubtably got placed into a box and that box got faithfully stored until the study was cleaned X number of times and then I probably asked myself do I really, really need another box laying around and pitched it. I poke around online and apparently the only place in existence which has this key is some tiny card that came with the original hardware. I go back to the old computer to look up the serial key. I look on the disc jacket, which I'm rather amazed I still have as usually after installing software I fling discs into a vast wilderness where they must fight for survival.

Hooking the hardware up is easy enough and then I put the install disc in and copy the stuff over to Applications and launch the setup assistant. Actually, since work blessed me with the MacBook Pro - I'm not entirely sure what to do with the Mini except perhaps somehow convert it into a jukebox or something.Īnyway, it's already been a long, busy, complicated week of barely getting things working and when I get home all I really wanted to do was setup up the Elgato onto The Girl's laptop before Battlestar so that I could see if we could record it.
I'm trying to move the Elgato 250 The Girl got me a way back from the Mini into the living room, to kinda consolidate things media related.
