Elgato Hdhomerun Network Dual Tuner For Mac
I'm new to Mac, coming from a Windows environment, and would like to be able to use my existing HDHomerun Prime with my new iMac, but there is no trial version of the EyeTV software, and Elgato's 'official' position is that EyeTV will not connect to an HDHomerun Prime.
I have two Elgato EyeTV Hybrids hanging off my Mac Mini 2012. One directly and one on a USB 2.0 hub. Both connected to the same DVB-C signal with a coax splitter.
Works fine here with the EyeTV 3 software Both can record at the same time from different channels to the internal stock harddisk with no issues. DVB-T also works (but as I have the same and more channels available with DVB-C I exclusively use the DVB-C signal).
I should also get a HD Homerun box in a few days () which should work with the EyeTV 3 software and is a network connected dual tuner (only one coax connection, though). Can be used with Mac, Windows and Linux. You might want to take a look at that. Cheers, Nikolaj. Hi Nikolaj, Sounds promising. Sony hdv 1080i driver. And you have no issues changing channels etc? If you schedule two recordings from different channels at the same time, this is simply handled without issues?
I asked Elgato about it and their reply was not very reassuring: The use of multiple EyeTV units on a single Mac simultaneously, is unsupported. This is a preliminary, unsupported feature that has some bugs.
Whereas you may be able to watch two live signals at a time, you will run into trouble, for example with recordings, or channel changing, since EyeTV cannot distinguish the tuners from each other. You may have other problems as well, for which there is currently no fix.

This feature may be finalized some time in the future. Until then, you can use it experimentally with the latest EyeTV software. I might have a go at it based on your experience. Old EyeTV User Hi, I'm sorta' an old EyeTV user.
I've been using more than a few EyeTV peripherals ( 250Plus, Hybrid, Pinnacle) for a few years now. If you attach more than one Tuner then you can watch more than one show at a time. Watch one main program while using PiP (Picture in Picture) for the others or you can have separate windows for each program. I prefer separate windows for each program then I just call them up or dismiss them as needed. Everything works well though as has been stated previously multiple tuners isn't supported.
Elgato Hdhomerun Network Dual Tuner For Mac 2018
The only glich (for me) has been that I can't choose which tuner displays which program. Why is this important, you ask? One tuner may have a higher quality signal than another and you can't choose the higher quality signal to use as the signal you use to record your chosen program. EyeTV always seems to choose the tuner with the worst signal. Right now I'm using 'two' 'HDHomeRun' tuners connected to my Router.
That way I get '4' different channels to choose from at the same time since each HDHomeRun has two tuners. Access to four different programs are on my Network so I can fire-up my MBAir and lunch EyeTV then watch TV anywhere my WiFi Network is available. No need to attach a separate Tuner to each Mac. Its very cool. If you already have the EyeTV software installed you could purchase one (or more) HDHomeRun tuners 'without' the EyeTV software (from J&R Music which was the cheapest I've found) for something like $59.00/$69.00. Attach your HDHomeRun Tuner(s) to your Router and two (or more) TV signals are on your Network waiting for you to use. These EyeTV signals on your network can also be accessed by your iPhone or iPod Touch with (I think) a free app.
