EyeTV 2.3 adds Front Row-like menu

Using EyeTV for some time now. I was tired of waiting for Elgato to add EPG data for Canada, so I did it myself.

I detailed how I achieved it here: http://www.pommepause.com/online.html

If anyone wants to try it, email me and I should be able to get you EPG data for your TV provider in Canada. Address: epg att abuserz dot com

Yep program guide work fine in UK at least. They try and get you to sign up for a tvtv.com acount - whuich provides an on-line guide... but who needs an online guide when you can select DVB guide and it gets loaded in to EyeTV like it would on any Freeview box.

Yawn. Wake me up when overdue features like saved searches and automatic scheduling of favorite programs are implemented.

I would like to see an Australian TV guide built in...

How about letting users order their recordings in chronological order instead of only alphabetically? This is a major flaw in 2.3...every PVR I've ever used has this as the default display option except EyeTV (including EyeTV 1.8). Alphabetical is a reckless decision that totally disqualifies any EyeTV owner with more than a dozen or so recordings from easy navigation to new recordings.

But, having used a beta version of the software for a couple of weeks, anyone complaining about Front Row integration is asking a bit much.

It's true that EyeTV isn't actually integrated into the Front Row app...but did anyone seriously expect El Gato to be able to do this? Hack into an Apple application?!?!?!?!? Come on!

It's VERY easy to switch between the two and wonder exactly how people are running into problems or "can't figure out how to do it." It's an actual menu option!!!

#3: Besides, where else do you think I got the screenshots to make the pic that accompanies this post?

This is a huge improvement and continues to make EyeTV even more of a "killer app".

My only complaint is that you can't control the size of the text in the on screen program guide. This should be a pref you can set for your needs.

When I first went to elgato.com they said "Another seat has been added to the front row" i thought this ment there was a TV icon in front row.
Apple should realy add another icon to the FrontRow menu other wise it's not true FrontRow integration.

I believe if you go to your System Preferances for your displays (where you choose which display is on the left/right) - you should have the option of dragging the Menu bar (along the top of Display1 - your main one) to the second screen. I believe This will allow Front Row to open on the second screen... but I'm not sure how this will affect your other day to day workings - i.e. window placement etc.

Apologies if this doesn't work, but I'm sure I read it over at macosxhints a while back...
