EyeTV
EyeTV is a digital TV tuner application for Mac that allows users to watch, record, and manage live television on their computers. Originally developed by Elgato, the software works with compatible USB TV tuner hardware to receive broadcast television signals, including both digital and analog channels. Users can schedule recordings, pause live TV, browse electronic program guides, and manage their recorded content library. The app also includes companion iOS apps for remote viewing and control, making it popular among cord-cutters and users who want to integrate traditional TV viewing with their Mac workflow.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionEyeTV 4 appears to be abandoned and remains Intel-only, currently running only through Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs. Based on community discussions, the original developer (Elgato) has not released a native Apple Silicon version, and users are experiencing compatibility issues on newer macOS versions. For a modern alternative, consider the Tablo Tuner DVR, which is fully compatible with Apple Silicon Macs and the latest macOS versions. It offers similar functionality including dual tuners, live TV viewing, and recording capabilities for over-the-air channels, without the 64-bit compatibility issues affecting EyeTV.
