6.3.5 still doesn't recognise my EyeTV Hybrid

[GRBarclay]

Okay - I discovered SageTV a few days ago and installed the latest Mac release version. It all seemed to work apart from watching TV. I just got a black screen on the 'Watch Live TV' option and no Video Capture Devices detected on the setup.

I looked on the site and realised the EyeTV Hybrid I'm using isn't supported, and then found the latest Beta that supposedly is compatible. I installed it - and still had the same result! So I removed Sage TV from my Mac and installed 6.3.5 again fresh. Again - it still tells me that it doesn't find any Video Capture Devices.

I've seen other people ARE using theirs successfully. My Mac mini is new with only EyeTV setup other than the normal Apple software so I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone advise me what I should try next as I think SageTV would be perfect for me if I could just get this bit to work!!

(BTW - Eye TV itself is obviously working fine with no problems.) Please help!!!

If you bought your EyeTV Hybrid recently (as did I) the device info changed from Hauppauge to Elgato. Sage doesn't recognize this new version of the EyeTV as a valid tuner. My experience with 6.3.5 is exactly the same as yours.

I reported this to Sage and was told that it was fixed in the latest Mac beta but that beta hasn't been released yet. See the other thread(s) on the Mac beta delays.

Our only hope is to wait for the new beta and try again.

CLARIFICATION: By 'recently' I meant since late Jan, early Feb...

I can only encourage you to petition the Sage crew to fix this to recognize your tuner. I am using a first gen hybrid with my Mac Mini, and it shows up as an Hauppage 950 USB tuner. I started with EyeTV, and wanted friendlier and more sophisticated DVR functions, and SageTV delivers big time. I actually stepped-up to SageMC recently, and I have to say, the more I use it, the more I like it. I evangelize whenever I vist other HT forums, and am suprised that more Mac peeps haven't discovered SageTV yet.

Now I just wish Sage would give an ETA on the new Mac build which is supposed to include an overhaul of the renderer. I still suffer from dropped HD frame hiccups several times an hour, which is annoying.

Good Luck,
