Lagging view of recording.

Give these new people from Geniatech that have recently taken over Elgato ,a little time to improve things. They are doing the right things to improve how this main app and Eyetv Desktop app work together. I am impressed to see latest updates, and am sure that this app , like before will work as well or better than before . Only slight thing that remains to be improved for me is a better server connection, slight moment of spinning wheel in app when connecting to Eyetv account but nothing worrisome.

Purchased this app that suppose to interact with companion eyeTV app on MacBookPro I previously purchased. Whatever I tried with this IOS app on my iPad and iPhone it could not find running eyeTV app on my Mac, making this app on phone/pad useless. Opened a ticket with seller company with no reply to this point.

Not compatible with picture in picture on IOS 9

Since upgrading my iPad to iOS 8, like every loyal iPad/iPhone user did last week, the iPad version won't connect to my eyeTV machine. This is the only change made to my systems. So it looks like this version is incompatible with iOS 8. Please fix. If you’re just buying this now, wait until an update specifically supporting 8 is released.

Elgato. You should make a key pad to change channel instead of scrolling thru all. Its only a new paint job. Sure you added a search channels box, but that is not a key pad to change channels. Lame

If VLC and Plex can stream EyeTV files on the Mac directly to iOS then why is Elgato still tediously converting recordings first? It takes forever before you can start watching, even with a fast Mac as it doesn't use all available CPU, so I just use Plex. But, EyeTV can stream live TV yet mysteriously not recorded shows until they've been converted. This makes no sense. The app says EyeTV is not running on the Mac. Really? Then how am I able to actually watch the recordings and live TV? I really miss the skip forward/back buttons in iOS that are on the Mac. For some reason they are missing on the app. The only option is to use single-speed fast forward or rewind. Very clumsy and inconsistent. It doesn't resume where you left off playing. Read that sentence again. Hard to believe, right? There is no way to delete recordings from the library. Another odd omission. You cannot create a manual schedule. You must pay for the TV Guide subscription that is full of errors just to schedule a recording, but it can't be edited to adjust the times. When I set up/delete a manual schedule on the Mac, it does not appear/disappear in the Schedules window on the iOS device unless I switch away to one of the other tabs and return. That's real old-fashioned programming and shouldn't be happening in a modern app. A change on the server should immediately be reflected on the client. Once a manual schedule is set up on the Mac, it cannot be edited in iOS, it can only be deleted. BUT, if you delete it it doesn't disappear from the window. The Delete button changes to a Record button, which when tapped, does nothing. If you then navigate away from the Schedules tab and return, I found 4 schedules with no title. Checking the Mac, they appear there as 0 seconds long, to be recorded 2000-12-31 19:00. So yeah, kinda buggy and feature poor. Similarly for playlists, you can't create/delete them in iOS, they don't appear/disappear until you navigate away from the Recordings tab and return, you can't see the criteria for Smart Playlists in iOS so you better give them a good name. Basically, Elgato needs to take a page from the MythTV and Plex playbooks and create separate client and server components. The client on the Mac and iOS should then have identical features. As it stands now, the iOS client is a stripped down version of the native Mac app. Other than a new paint job, the same limitations remain as the previous version.

The new update works fine except most import part the TV guide. Cannot check programs and set recordings. Update has turned ipad into worst tv in house,

Works great.

My desktop setup is an HDHomerun plus EyeTV 3, which works fine on my iMac... I was under the impression that this app did some of the heavy lifting for accepting the HDHomerun feed (like EyeTV) but it instead uses the computer to do all the transcoding and stream the feed, which doesn't work at all from my old(ish) 2.4mhz intel iMac. Then I bought a Turbo264 to hopefully speed it up, and it still doesn't work. To top it off, the app doesn't directly read .eyetv recordings, but rather needs to convert the entire recording (which takes forever and uses your iMac to do it) before playing, which is useless for me. So what I have here is a $5 channel guide. Nice. I guess I'll need to invest in a Mac Mini or a new home computer to get this to work. Sigh.
