What is EyeTV? EyeTV turns your Mac into the coolest television and DVR in the house

What is EyeTV?

EyeTV software, together with a compatible Mac TV tuner, turns your Macintosh® into much more than just a television. The latest version of our award-winning software is called EyeTV 3, and it offers: 

DVR (digital video recorder) functionality

Pause and rewind live TV. Set up Smart Schedules to record your favorite shows automatically.

Comprehensive Program Guide

EyeTV goes way beyond the basic program information that you get with digital TV. EyeTV offers detailed descriptions of upcoming programs, including actors, genres, release dates and much more. EyeTV makes it easy to find shows you'll like, and even easier to automatically record them.

Editing capabilities

Easily edit your recordings to remove unwanted material, or create clips of your favorite TV moments.

Export to any format

Share your recordings with other Macs on the network, and export them to iTunes® for playback on an iPod®, iPhone®, iPad™ or Apple TV®.

Elgato has combined EyeTV 3 software with high quality TV tuner/encoder hardware to bring you our award-winning EyeTV solutions. We have a number of Mac TV solutions to meet your needs, depending on the type of TV signals broadcast in your area and the type of TV reception service you use or subscribe to.

For more flexibility, buy the software on its own and use it with approved third party hardware to create your own custom solution.

Elgato also licenses a light version of EyeTV 3 software to several partners, including Hauppauge, Hama and TerraTec. EyeTV lite offers rich, full-screen functionality, and is perfect for anyone who simply wants to watch and record TV on a Mac. EyeTV lite customers can upgrade to the full version at a discounted price.
