It was as easy as starting the application to watch HD-quality live TV on my laptop.
EYETV HDHOMERUN SOFTWARE
The optional software from the hdhomerun site includes HDHomeRun VIEW, a simple player for your computer. The first thing I did? Clicked record on two programs during the same time slot and marveled at not getting a conflict message. This setting didn’t “stick” on the first restart of EyeTV but it did the second time and EyeTV now shows 2 tuners. I had to go to the settings in my EyeTV software and change “device” from Elgato>EyeTV One to Elgato > HDHomeRun*. I’ve seen some folks have had issues getting it to work with EyeTV and I was concerned, even though the box specifically says it works with EyeTV. Finally download the software for your system (optional). Next, run a channel scan to find your OTA channels. Your browser locates the device on your local network, checks the firmware version and updates it if needed.
It’s about the size of a wi-fi router and takes input from your OTA antenna, uses two HDTV tuners, and outputs as DLNA-compliant streaming video on your home network.Īfter connecting it you browse over to. This clever device is as simple as 1-Power, 2-Network, 3-Input.
To deal with these issue I’ve added an HD Homerun Extend (HDTC-2US). I’m running on an older Intel Mac (Mini) and the quality of the stream is barely watchable between the stuttering and artifacting. Second, trying to watch live TV from another device (laptop, tablet, phone) using the streaming output from EyeTV is dismal. And for us this happens occasionally with a couple of prime time shows where the wife and I can’t agree on which to record. By splitting the OTA input we can watch one program while we record another but we can’t record two programs at the same time. A couple of limitations, though, have been nagging at me. I’ve been using an EyeTV One from Elgato for several years and it’s been working great. I cut the cord years ago but still love to watch a few shows. Even though I haven’t had a television for the past 8 months (maybe more on that in the future) I haven’t stopped watching television.
