Do you have two tuners attached? I am hoping for an improvement in how the software handles two or more tuners. The "iffiness" on which tuner EyeTV will use is the one problem I see with it for setting up recordings.
Right now I have one getting a direct feed from the cable and I use that for shows on the channels that I do not need a box for yet. The other tuner is fed through one of Comcast's DTA boxes, I pre-set it to the channel I want to record. But every so often the EyeTV software will swap which tuner it records a show from, and I get something other than I want or dead air from the one switched off the channel for the DTA.
With IRblasters and appropriate software to control the DTA's I could take care of that by having both connected that way. But that is added expense and right now only two are supported by EyeTV.
