Record TV with Elgato Eye TV and Comcast

Right now we have a Tivo and we want to get rid of it.
Our TV is down stairs along with the Comcast DTA100/2305/000 Cable Box.
Our Mac is upstairs along with the cable modem.
We also have a Apple TV and not sure if comcast basic cable is encrypted?
What do I need to do to get this to work?
Any suggestions?
Brian

Again, what does this have to do with the ATV?
The ATV is a media streaming device, not a cable box replacement or DVR.

  • Problem with elgato eye tv and IMac movie languages

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

  • Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

    Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
    Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
    Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
    RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
    Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
    TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
    ?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
    I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
    I'd appreciate your help,
    Daniel

    A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
    Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

  • While playing back a video file the sound goes sort of like an echo and stopping the video and playing back again it sound great, the video is recorded live with an AJA system and plays fine on the units;any clue to what is going

    While playing back a video recorded on a AJA system we transfered it to the macbook pro played it with quicktime works great and sometimes it sounds like an echo same file track and it plays fine on the aja system.Tried it on another macbook pro and it did the same issue.Any clue to what is going on.Thank you.

    Thank you supermacmom!
    I have the LifeProof case for the iPhone5, and I remember the instructions saying that any protective screen cover should be removed before enclosing the phone into the case, but I left mine on with no ill effects.
    But I should have taken off the back protective film, which was covering the video mic!

  • Air or Pro for Recording vocals with GarageBand or PT and Producing

    I'm considering buying a MacBook and would like to get a new Air. I will be using it mainly for recording my vocals on beats that I have bought on iTunes. I'm also going to be taking a couple of Coursera classes on music production. Can the new Air's handle GarageBand or Pro Tools well? I've been using my iPhone 4S with GarageBand to record but I would like to do more editting of my vocals with Pro Tools. The reason I like the Air is b/c it is light and easy to transport.

    One thing with vocalists, I can think of, is to show them the input device, and have them watch the clip meter. After a few takes, if they are somewhat savvy at singing into a mic, they'll start to back off on strong notes, and moving in on subtle notes. If you watch a pro singer on stage, you'll see them pulling the mic in close for soft stuff, and backing it way off for the strong notes. In the studio, the same techniques can be used, but the person has to back away, rather than a hand held mic pulled away.
    Hardware can help this to an extent, but the singer has to take some action to get the best performance recorded. If I were going to use hardware, it'd probably be limiting more so than compression. Limiting can keep your signal under control, without doing too much to the dynamics. I'd prefer to save compression for post, so I can decide what sounds best. I used to have a female vocalist with an amazing voice. i was NEVER able to capture her properly on tape, since I had no pre processing at all. She is still in this area, and I have invited her to come record some vox for me, because I want to see if I can now get a grip on them. If I ever do, she'll be featured on an upcoming CD

  • 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!

  • Elgato Eye TV for recording TV to iPod

    I'm considering buying Elgato's Eye TV in order to record TV shows to then transfer to my computer and iPod. I see that they now have Eye TV2, which has the ability to transfer to iPod, however, I can't really tell if this is just the software to go with the Eye TV unit, or what. Since I'm not interested in doing a whole lot of this, I don't want to invest a great deal of money. Also, does anyone currently use Eye TV, and if so, which model is best suited to use with DirecTV?
    I'd also be curious to know how long it takes to convert the files so they can be used in iTunes?
    Any thoughts or experience will be greatly appreciated.

    NikR, I bought a new iMac in December and soon followed it with an Eye TV device which I bought from the Apple Store in Sheffield. The Apple Genius there was really helpful and said that the Miglia (http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/61114042/wo/ij4RhNFXhqg12VsV kMJ20RccOyM/1.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.3.3)
    was cheaper and uses the same software as the Eye TV I was looking at (http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/61114042/wo/ij4RhNFXhqg12VsV kMJ20RccOyM/3.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3).
    The main difference apart from the cost is that the Eye TV comes with a small aerial, whereas you will need to plug your house aerial into the Miglia.
    Actually I have the Eye TV set up with my house aerial as I am in a weak signal area and need a higher aerial to get a good picture. You can get all Freeview radio and TV channels and the software is very easy to use. The images when produced onto DVD are excellent. I use Roxio Toast.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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 recording export to FCE 4.0

    Hello,
    Quick question ( maybe not so quick ). I know analog cable TV is interlaced. Does final cut require that video clips from a live TV recording ( from eyetv) be de-interlaced before editing and exporting ? I notice if I don't do this fast motion comes out to poor to watch. I get a strobing like effect.
    Thanks
    Carmine

    Thanks for your answer,
    I am still a bit confused, being a former Windows PC person editing with Sony Vegas 7.0. Final Cut is a bit different. Perhaps you could give me a few pointers. i want to record TV using Elgato Eyetv hybrid, export the recording into Final Cut Express, edit commercials out, add chapters export into iDVD and burn. When doing this with sporting events I get bad motion blurring making the DVd unwatchable. Any help with what the best settings are would be appreciated.
    Thank You

  • Audio and video not synchronized in recording made with Lync 2013

    There appears to be no forum for the Lync 2013 client yet, so I am posting this in the Lync 2013 server forum.
    Environment: Lync 2013 Server and Lync 2013 32-bit client. Only one Lync pool. Conference call was scheduled using "Lync Meeting" in Outlook about a week before the call. Call recorded on a laptop that was plugged into our LAN with an Ethernet
    cable.
    Problem: User scheduled a conference call with screen sharing (PowerPoint) and recorded the call. The audio and video are not synchronized in the recording. There is several minutes' delay, with the audio lagging behind the PowerPoint. The last slide
    on the call was presented, the call ended, and the presenter ended the recording (I was present for all this and can confirm no user error in these steps); however, in the recording, the slides change before the speaker talks about it, and the last
    couple of minutes are cut off. 
    Any ideas on why this happened? Web research has failed me. Thank you.

    You may need to lower the recording quality as your PC might not be able to keep up the pace.
    Go to Options in Lync client -> Recording -> Select 480p
    Then test again

  • Recording Flash with iShowU and importing into FCP?

    I need to create some motion graphics for a video, though I am not good enough yet with Motion and would like to use Flash. I am wondering if there are any issues with creating my project in Flash, playing it back and recording it with iShowU and just bringing it into my FCP project this way. It seems like it should work fine, just want to see if there might be anything I am overlooking?
    Thanks.

    I"m not slamming iShowU. It's great, and it's easy to use.
    I would just choose graphics built using Motion over graphics built using Flash and then iShowU, the quality will be significantly different. But that's my opinion and depending on your final destination (like a podcast for instance) you may be better off going your direction. With regard to audio though, be aware that iShowU compresses audio using AAC.
