I have a 24" iMac with an Elgato EyeTV Diversity (Dual channel Digital TV tuner) running 3.1.2 software.
Pre Snow Leopard, everything was working fine - record two TV shows at once, zap the ads, export the video files to a Qnap NAS box, all networked to a PS3 operating as a media centre. A terrific set-up, like having your own TV channel.
Then I upgraded to Snow Leopard and it's all pear-shaped since then. The Elgato EyeTV worked initially, dropping out occasionally, but since a recent Apple upgrade for SL, the Elgato EyeTV works no more. This is doubly annoying as Elgato says on its website that the EyeTV software is compatible with SL.
I use Time Machine, and just before I installed SL, I backed up so my intention now is to revert back to Leopard by booting off the Leopard DVD and restoring Leopard from Time machine, hopefully bringing me back to 28 August just before SL. Then my Elgato hardware should work and I can keep my eye on the forums to see when the bugs are ironed out of SL before I redo a SL upgrade.
This is disappointing, but if I am in a worse position with SL because EyeTV doesn't work, it ain't an upgrade.
Has any one else experienced SL + Elgato EyeTV incompatibility?
