The EPG has a pleasant pastel palette and you can browse up to 11 days in advance. Simplest of all is to use the space bar to pause/play and double click the screen to change from normal size view to full-screen or vice versa. Navigation often involves using drop-down menus and various shortcuts are activated by using the keyboard. It doesn't take long to master the software. The Channels folder is where you can create your own groups of channels from the massive list in the main library and the best place to view the EPG and tune in to a channel.ĮyeTV places a virtual remote control on your desktop that shows which satellite is being watched and makes it possible to change channels, alter volume and pause, record, etc. In addition you can create your own playlists and drag recordings into them. Playlists comprise Exporting recordings, Past Week and Recording Now categories.
The Smart Guide allows you to search for shows by filters such as genre, actor or director's name, duration, date, title, first-run, repeat, and so on. Library is sub-divided into another Channels folder (all channels listed), Program Guide (EPG information), Scheduled recordings and Recordings (those captured onto the hard disc). The main EyeTV screen is divided into four folders: Library Smart Guides, Playlists and Channels. Channels not picked up by the auto scan, such as ITV HD in our case, can be manually added by right-clicking within the channel list and entering frequency data. Thanks to DiSEqC 1.1 support, you can save and store the position of four satellites at a time. A setup assistant guides you through the installation process but you are left to manually choose which satellite you want to scan from the multitude listed.įreesat channels are at flagged up as being on Astra 2 at 28.2☎, which took a none-too-speedy 22 minutes to scan and yielded about 400 channels.

Installing the software is as straight forward as connecting the box. A rather bland remote control handset is provided with basic channel-changing, volume and transport controls, although if you're sitting at your computer you'll mostly use the keyboard controls – or the rather snazzy virtual remote that sits on the desktop.
