New and Improved in EyeTV 3
Smart Guide subscriptions
Want to record an entire season of your favourite TV series? Or future broadcasts of movies that feature your favourite actor or director? Use Smart Guides to create subscriptions based on any criteria you like. Smart Guides are automated searches that can add new episodes to a recording schedule as soon as they appear in the Program Guide. What’s more, you can manage the number of episodes that are retained, drop the recordings into Playlists, and even export the recordings automatically to an iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV.
On Screen Menu
Whether you’re watching at your desk or from the sofa, EyeTV 3’s new On Screen menu makes it easier than ever to select, watch, and record TV. Mouse or remote control, you choose; either way you get instant access to
Improved Program Guide Search
EyeTV features full-text search of the program guide, with results displayed in realtime as you type your search term. But that’s just the beginning. With EyeTV 3’s advanced search, you can combine multiple search criteria to quickly find whatever you’re looking for. Search for actors, directors, year of release, description, and much more.
Share recordings on a LAN
If you’ve got more than one Mac in the house and EyeTV 3 is installed on all of them, then you can share EyeTV recordings over your local network. Shared libraries show up in the sidebar, and you can browse and play them in standard or HD resolution.
Enhanced Wi-Fi Access:
Wi-Fi Access makes it possible to watch your recordings in Safari on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or on your Windows PC or Mac. EyeTV 3 also adds support for playback on a variety of smart phones. You can now choose low resolution formats designed for cellular use, as well as the standard iPod/iPhone formats. EyeTV 3 makes your recordings available in more ways and in more places than ever before.
Save channel lists for multiple locations
If you travel frequently, you can save your channel list configuration for each location and easily switch between them with a click. No more re-auto tuning, renaming, or sorting channels after you’ve used your tuner in a different place.
New, Intuitive Programs Window
If you’ve used iTunes or the new Finder in Leopard, you’ll feel right at home with EyeTV 3’s enhanced
Programs Window. It groups all the key functions in a customizable sidebar, giving you instant access to all your recordings, schedules, program guides, playlists and shared libraries. The new Cover Flow mode makes it easier than ever to find just what you’re looking for, and handy toolbar makes short work of common tasks.
Timeline Overlay
The video timeline (scrub-bar) is now integrated into the EyeTV player window. Easily pause, rewind and fast forward, or effortlessly ‘scrub’ through the entire program (or timeshift buffer) with a click of the mouse. When using a remote control, you’ll see precisely where you are in the current program.
Script Menu
EyeTV 3 now offers an integrated AppleScript menu. Combined with more robust script support, EyeTV 3 gives advanced users even more control and flexibility to create custom applications.
Enhanced Editor for Recordings
EyeTV 3 has a built-in editor for trimming your recordings and removing unwanted sections. The new
layout and improved timeline makes precise editing even easier. Once you made your edits, you can ‘compact’ the recording to free up disc space, and export to a wide variety of formats.
iPod Assistant
Modeled after our popular VHS Assistant, the new iPod Assistant in EyeTV 3 guides users through the steps needed to capture analog sources like VHS cassettes and camcorder tapes and prepare them for iPod use. The Assistant guides you at every step so even beginners can get the best possible quality the first time (requires hardware with hardware encoding).
