What's new in EyeTV 3.0.2?


Full Support for H.264 Broadcasts

EyeTV now fully supports digital television H.264 broadcasts in standard TV and HDTV resolutions. More and more countries are adopting the H.264 video compression standard for digital television. H.264 provides excellent picture quality at lower data rates than MPEG-2, thus reducing the amount of bandwidth required per channel. The end result is that television stations can broadcast more channels, while using the same number of transmitters.

Several countries’ over-the-air DVB-T broadcasts exclusively use the H.264 format:

  • In Norway, both the free and Pay TV (RiksTV) services use H.264.
  • Many other countries broadcast H.264 HDTV test transmissions in certain areas.
  • H.264 broadcasts are also available in many digital cable systems and via satellite (DVB-S2).  All EyeTV 310 digital satellite tuners shipped since November 2007 are capable of receiving DVB-S2.

 

tvtv Sweden

Sweden has been added to the list of countries available for use with the tvtv electronic programming guide (EPG). When Sweden is selected as a country, the EPG will automatically be set to tvtv - UK.

Separate Deinterlacing Options for Standard TV and HDTV

EyeTV now has separate deinterlacing options for Standard TV and HDTV. For Standard TV on Intel Core Duo Macs, the default is Progressive Scan. For HDTV, the default is Always. To change deinterlacing, open the Display pane in the EyeTV Preferences. 

The deinterlacing options can also be changed by using the On Screen Menu. This can be accessed by navigating to More>Settings>Display Options>Deinterlace in the On Screen Menu.

Improved On Screen Menus

The text used in the On Screen Menus has been updated for improved readability. Errors and messaging have also been improved to help users troubleshoot problems.

The On Screen Menu now has an Audio item that can be used to select a specific track on recordings with multiple audio tracks.

Closed Captions (CC), HD, and Stereo Icons are now displayed in the Details screen of the On Screen Menu.

Unplayed Recordings Badge

EyeTV now displays a badge over the thumbnail of recordings that have not yet been viewed.
