EyeTV 3 released

January 19th, 2008

EyeTV, the premier PVR software for OS X, has just been updated to version 3. EyeTV 3 takes advantage of IceTV’s detailed TV guide data, allowing for more detailed searching and automatic recordings based on those searches.

New features include:

Intelligent Program Guide Search

EyeTV features full-text search of the program guide, with results displayed in realtime as you type your search term. But that’s just the beginning. With EyeTV 3’s advanced search, you can combine multiple search criteria to quickly find whatever you’re looking for. Search for actors, directors, year of release, description, and much more.

Smart Guides

Your program guide search criteria can be saved, similar to the Smart Folders search functionality in Mac OS X. Smart Guides are added to the EyeTV 3 sidebar, for one-click access. Their contents update automatically, so you always get the most current results.

Automatic Recording of TV Series

With EyeTV 3, you can create subscription to automatically record the contents of any Smart Guide. This is very useful for recording all the episodes in a regular series, but it goes far beyond that, making it possible to automatically record the shows that meet your exact criteria. Interested in documentaries narrated by a specific actor, but only if they are broadcast in HD? It’s simple to set up a subscription to automatically find and record them. You also get complete control over how many episodes are retained, automatic export after recording, and automatic creation of playlists to contain the subscription recordings.
