Eyetv hybrid usa6/1/2023 ![]() It isn't clear to me at all how that works. I'm also considering getting an IR blaster to help EyeTV change the channels on this stupid Comcast box, but not sure how that works since I have to keep the EyeTV tuner on channel 3 (or 4). I'll have an issue with getting the coax from the roof into our living room, which puts me on the fence. Given, however, that I'm only scheduling shows on the main networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX), I'm wondering if it's time for me to follow so many others and just drop Comcast, by a digital antenna, and go that route. Just last week, they turned off analog on my basic cable service, and essentially killed my EyeTV scheduling enjoyment that I have been using for the last 10 years. I didn't realize until now that this cancer called "Comcast Digital" has been spreading across the nation wiping out EyeTV scheduling for the last few years. I guess I'll just buy a Slingbox instead.recording ability or not. It's been 20 days and no response from them. ![]() I've asked Elgato's customer service repeatedly for a discount on the new product, since it's really my only option and because the product I purchased less than two years ago has been stripped to nothing. The only solution is to buy their new EyeTV HD product for $200 but you'll still need to pay Comcast for a dedicated box. Who wants to record CSPAN? That essentially makes the EyeTV Hybrid a useless product for two reasons:ġ.) It forces you to get another digital cable box from Comcast for about $8/monthĢ.) Prevents you from using the software or the EyeTV iPhone App to watch live TV, control recordings via guide, etc. ![]() After a lengthy back and forth with Elgato's awful online email support, it turns out Comcast now requires a digital cable box for almost every basic cable channel except PBS and CSPAN. So I've owned Elgato's EyeTV Hybrid product for about 2 years (previously had the 250 model) and really enjoy recording sports games with it (plenty of Patriots, Celtics and Red Sox memories on my Mac now!).īut, all of a sudden, almost no channels are available.
