Elgato EYE TV EZ Experience and feedback

I have been thinking about Elgato product for my iMac G5 but i am not sure about the efficiency/quality of TV adaptor for Desktops
Has anyone experience the eye TV EZ? I am quite interested about this one to use TV and most of it plug in a Nintendo, but did not get the best feedback.
Is it really nice and fast stuff like elgato pretends?
If you have any feedback, you are welcome...

I can't answer you specifically on the EyeTV EZ but for what it is worth, I have an EyeTV 200 and am impressed with the quality of the hardware and software, ease of use of the software and the quality of the picture I get when I watch a show or record it on my hard drive. I believe the software you would get with the EyeTV EZ would be the same so that part directly applies. But hopefully someone else will jump in with their impressions of the EZ hardware and its picture quality.

    I currntly own a EyeTV USB, an older model, while I'm not going to tell you that I have HD quality, it is a clearer picture than what you'd get on you run of the mill TV connected to a cable box.
    on an iMac, you'll notice the fans rev up a little higher than normal.. the EyeTV is software driven not hardware driven, so it'll tend to get the system quite hot if running for hours on end. Though, it'll be fine to watch an evening of prime time TV, just don't leave it running all night as you may eventually fry something. (like a G5 CPU)
    If you do get this Elgato product and you do accidently leave it on over night and wind up with unusually fast running fans, shutt off the iMac and manually restart the system holding the power button until it makes a funny beep noise. This will reset the section of the mother board that controls the system fans.
    I hope this helps!

  • Late 2009 iMac running Yosemite freezing and won't wake up when Elgato Eye TV starts to record?

    As above really, not much more to add.
    My husbands late 2009 iMac recently upgraded to Yosemite (latest update installed yesterday) freezes while in sleep mode and has to be 'force shutdown' by holding power button down and then restarted to get it going again.  Recording is stopped.
    The Elgato Eye TV is a dual tuner with latest update. 
    Sometimes it wakes the computer up and begins recording, sometimes not. 
    No key taps or mouse jiggles get it to wake nor a quick press of the power button, I can hear the computer running and have to hold the power button down until all is quiet then fire it back up.
    Other times it just doesn't wake the computer at all and start recording.  I am all out of things to try, I think he had this problem before but not as badly when the iMac was running Snow Leopard. 

    Hi Boaz,
    I´m facing exactly the same with my Mini which is remotely controlled by a MacBook via Screensharing. Everything works fine unless the Mini goes to sleep. After that I´m not able to wake it up by the MacBook and Wake on LAN (Wol). Even the share is not listed in Finder´s sidebar anymore. It simply doesn´t show up in the share sections anymore. When I log on to my router I can see, that MacMini is not active and I can send WoL package from the router. That brings the Mini back alive, although it still doesn´t show up in the Finder sidebar. When I connect to the Mini via Finder "Connect to share" and type in: vnc://ip-MacMini I can use screensharing again.......
    Also I faced the problem with indexed network phantoms....means my Mini was listed in network shares with several different indices e.g. MacMini(2) and (4) and so on..... I wasn´t able to connect and curiously these phantoms show up even when my Mini was shut off! Looks like bonjour or something else is not working properly....
    I fixed phantoms by reseting my router (AVM firtzbox), which worked out perfect since yesterday and no indexed phantom is showing up anymore.....
    Haven´t fixed the screensharing or waking up thing yet....
    I was also taking part in beta testing program and reported these problems to Apple. In Mavericks everything worked really perfect!

  • Problem with elgato eye tv and IMac movie languages

    I live in switzerland and we have same movie in tv that we can choose the languages Italian or English.
    I have the elgato eye tv Hibrid and I have a problem whith the languages. When we have movie that you can choose the languages the  the Mac and the Elgato spooke simultaneously with both languages. One audio in Italian and the other audio in Inglish. How can I choose only one langueage?

    Also, note since you are running 10.6, it can't be on a PPC Mac.  10.6 only runs on Intel Macs.

  • Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?

    My mac mini has Elgato 'Eye TV' software that runs in 'Full Screen'.  I want to keep this setting & also connect another monitor to the macmini & use other Appilications on the other monitor?  Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?
    My early 2009 macmini can run Mac OS 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8

    Yes, run one from HDMI and the other from Thunderbolt/minidisplayport sockets. In EyeTV Preferences check the screen you want for full screen use and make sure your Dock is on the other one.

  • Elgato Eye TV 250 makes iMac "pop"?!

    Just hooked up Elgato Eye TV 250 a few days ago to my new (Christmas) 24" iMac which has worked flawlessly from day one. I now notice that whenever the Eye TV application is open, every so often I hear a single pop come through my iMac. I haven't timed it, but I'm guessing it happens maybe twice every half hour (?). I am using a pair of external speakers (Altec Lansing) that work without any problems. I can't really tell if the pop comes from the speakers or from the computer itself. It's not a huge deal--a little annoying perhaps--but just thought I'd see if anyone knew what this was or, more importantly, if it could be doing any kind of damage?
    Thanks!

    I've been using my eyeTV with my iMac 24" for just about a year with Comcast digital cable. I am able to view HD (16:9) content on those channels that are not scrambled. Today, I added a Direct TV STB (not HD) and I'm able to view razor sharp digital 4:3 as my STB is not HD capable. I don't have a HD box handy, but I would suspect that if you have one, you should be able to view the D*TV HD programming including movies. I know someone who also has the D*TV HD bundle and he routes his composite video out to a Samsung DVD Player/Burner. He can create movie DVDs in 16:9 "HD" using this setup. His TV is connected via HDMI from the DVD player so he can watch those movies in real time as well.
    My only question right now is that while I can see the D*TV Guide on my mac's screen... when I switch channels with the mouse, it shows the change... but remains on the previous channel. So I have to use the D*TV remote to switch channels... a real PITA.

  • Multithreading in ADF Fusion web app - experience and risks ?

    We plan to hire mulithreading in our ADF web app.
    That's what is otherwise poorly written.
    Some say it is a bad practice, because the "server does not manage application's thread".
    Has anyone already implemented this in some way, and what are the experiences and the risks ?

    Hi Frank, thanks for response.
    I want to run the "multiple jobs" by sending messages to JMS system, namely for this purpose to hire Message Driven bean.
    This action would be performed by an HTTP request.
    Thus way, the user can continue to work with the program while MDBs doing their job (for example, call stored procs etc)
    But the problem is - how to notify the application in real time that the jobs is completed, and issue a message to the UI ?
    Thinking about WebLogic server-side push/Comet, but I need some details on how to implement this in ADF apps.

    Issues are usually network related
    What is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD (you can switch to SD in the settings)
    If on wifi try ethernet and www.istumbler.net to rule out interference
    Make sure you're using your ISP's DNS

  • Hand Coded Contact and Feedback Form

    Hi All,
    Up until today, I have been using a Contact and Feedback Form from http://www.freedback.com for my website.
    I do not want to be reliant on a company for this any longer so I have hand coded a form in the html snippet in iWeb that I am very pleased with.
    I want to have the contents e-mailed to me and I have set the form method to "get". Do I need to include my e-mail address under the action section, so the action is to send the contents to my e-mail address?
    Also, how do I input the code to re-direct people to a Thank You page on my website after submitting the form? I had done this at Freedback, but this was done through their website.
    I am not using MobileMe, rather I upload to my own hosting space through http://www.daily.co.uk.

    Here's an example of one of my pathetic efforts...
    http://www.cosmystic.com/Contact.html
    Here's the code. You obviously need to change [email protected] with your own email!
    This is set up in your server control panel under email. The email address you choose can then be forwarded to your Mac mail by changing "Mail Box" to "Forward".
    I use Host Excellence and I think you use GoDaddy ??? - so maybe the method is different. I am assuming that GoDaddy has form mail and CGI.

  • What is PMS Data Migration Experience and Data Migration Scripts preparatio

    Hi All what is PMS Data Migration Experience and Data Migration Scripts preparation
    why we use these in HRMS(EBS)

    Pl provide a link to where you got these terms from.
    "PMS Data Migration Experience" is not an EBS term - most likely a vendor or third-party phrase/tool/software.
    "Data Migration" in HRMS (and other EBS modules) typically refers to the process of moving data from a legacy system to EBS during the process of going-live with EBS.

    I smashed my IPAD glass and after having it repaired I am no longer able to access wifi unless I am right next to my router.  Has anyone else had this experience and what is solution?

    Given the complexity in merely getting the thing open, that is likely. Or they forgot to reconnect it. See #14  and from #52 on down in: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+iPad+2+GSM+Bluetooth-Wi-Fi+Antenna/6166/1

    Batteries can and have expanded when they are old and their useful life is over.  More often than not, there will be a warning generated in the battery display in the menu bar or in System Information>Power.  You may use a #00 Phillips driver and take off the bottom of the MBP and take out the battery.
