I signed up and got my beta invitation very soon afterwards. So it goes without saying I was thrilled to read about this beta version. The truth is that it isn’t really required, but in a world where everyone has a cable box, built in schedules are a given convenience that I know I wouldn’t like to live without. Basically its a file that EyeTV downloads to display the local listings for your area. You might be wondering exactly what an EPG is and why its necessary for watching TV on your Mac. The past few weeks they’ve been rolling out a beta version of the EyeTV 3 software that includes support for a Canadian EPG. I thought that was the only use I’d get out of it too, since Elgato doesn’t offer a Electronic Program Guide (EPG/listings) for Canada. Technically speaking its a TV tuner, but I bought it for its cassette digitizing abilities – more on that later. UPDATE: Elgato’s Canadian EPG is now out of beta, and purchasers will receive one year of free access with purchase of an EyeTV tuner.Ī couple months ago I ordered the Elgato EyeTV 250 Plus from the online Apple Store (free shipping FTW).
