Question :
I’ve been using EyeTV for many years as my favorite TV-watching software, but since I recently upgrade to macOS 10.15 Catalina, the EyeTV software will no longer run…
What can I do ?
Answer :
The EyeTV version you have is version 3.5 or older, which is a 32bit application. Unfortunately macOS 10.15 Catalina is the first macOS that only supports 64bit applications.
UPDATED INFO :
Geniatech (who took over EyeTV from Elgato) has released the 64bit version of EyeTV for macOS 10.15 Catalina. It’s simply called EyeTV 4 and is available now from the Geniatech website :
NOTE : If you had previously installed the EyeTV 4 Beta (64bit) version, you should probably be best off with uninstalling that version first using the EyeTV Reporter (64-BIT) before you install the new EyeTV 4
PREVIOUS INFO :
Geniatech (who took over EyeTV from Elgato) has run into a lot of delay while reprogramming EyeTV as a 64bit application, but they now have EyeTV 4 in Public Beta, so anyone is invited to test :
This preview software will not work beyond November 30th 2019 !!
To get it working, do this :
- download the software from the download-link you find in Geniatech EyeTV 4 Public Beta preview
- open your Downloads folder and double-click on the EyeTV dmg-file
- in the window that opens, drag the EyeTV icon over to the Applications folder
- in the warning screen that opens, click on the “Keep Both”-button or “Replace”-button
- then, in the Applications folder, double-click on the EyeTV icon (if you have two, choose the one that doesn’t have the traffic sign over it)
- in the warning screen (“cannot check for malicious software”) click OK
- then, open System Preferences
- in the window that opens, click on “Security & Privacy”
- in the next window, make sure the “General”-tab is selected
- if you see the text “EyeTV was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer” click the “Open Anyway”-botton
- if you do not see that text, go back and try to run the EyeTV application first/again
- after clicking “Open Anyway” a warning screen opens, where you should click OK
- in the next window Administrator Access is needed, so typ your admin password (usually the password you use to unlock your Mac)
- in the next window you need to give EyeTV permission to access your Documents folder, if you don’t want that click “Don’t Allow”, else click OK
- now the “Welcome to EyeTV” window opens, click “Next”
- in the next window (licence agreement), click “Next” (you have to… not a real option)
- in the pop-up window, click “Agree” (again : not a real option)
- in the next window, select your country and click “Next”
- in the next window, make sure your TV-reception-device (usually an EyeTV USB-stick or alike – if you use a “MyGica DVB-T2 (T230C)” choose the corresponding “EyeTV T2 Hybrid”) is selected and click “Next”
- in the next window, enter one of the 5 serial keys (activation keys) that are given on the Geniatech EyeTV 4 Public Beta preview webpage
- in the next window, make sure you have your TV-reception-device (EyeTV USB-stick) plugged in, then click “Next”
- in the next window, click “Next”
- in the next window, just click “Next” (and set this up later if you need to)
- in the next window, just click “Next” (and set this up later if you need to)
- in the next window, if a window with a TV broadcast has already been opened in the background, just click “Next” (if not, click “Auto-tune”)
- in the next window, click “Finish”
- in the pop-up window that appears, typ your admin password
- then you may get another pop-up window where you need to give EyeTV permission to access your Documents folder, if you don’t want that click “Don’t Allow”, else click OK
…that’s it ! you can now use EyeTV on macOS Catalina (until November 30th that is…)
