Plex has many other features for managing and accessing video media that is typically TV Shows, Movies, music and “Other Video” (perhaps home videos, learning/training obtained from a range of sources eg online or ripped from DVD etc). EyeTV gears around supporting one person/stream and Plex potential to stream media not just to one person but also grant remote access to friends (registered and managed in the Plex solution).
#Elgato eyetv software
Present "live" video broadcast to a viewer: EyeTV on a macOS computer and the Plex solution using Plex Media Server (running on a computer) and Plex client software (available for a wide range of computer, mobile, set-top/streaming devices and Smart TVs).įeatures to collect program schedule from an online database and present a TV program schedule – in a similar layout.įeatures enabling some sort of remote access/viewing. I’m sure the list of EyeTV compatible peripherals and Plex compatible peripherals is not the same – in my case however both work with the SiliconDust HDHomeConnect.
While they both accessed the SiliconDust HDHomeRun hardware/device each solution offered a very different overall set of features and capabilities.īoth Plex solution and the EyeTV solution both offered the same (or similar features):Īccess digital tuner hardware devices on the local network. I am reluctant to describe Plex Media Server as an alternative to EyeTV. I implemented a different solution with Plex as the core component able to make use of SiliconDust HDHomeRun hardware/device. I could either purchase Geniatech hardware/device OR I could continue using a version of EyeTV 3 (not the latest build) with SiliconDust HDHomeRun hardware/device.Įventually I upgraded macOS to a version that didn't support any version/build of EyeTV 3.ĮyeTV 4 (64 bit) was not available for macOS I was using.
Geniatech explaining the agreement/arrangement with SiliconDust that new versions of EyeTV 3 support SiliconDust hardware/devices had expired. I stopped using EyeTV 3 for several reasons:ĮyeTV 3 beyond a particular version stopped supporting SiliconDust HDHomeRun hardware/device. I continued to use Elgato/Geniatech EyeTV 3 with SiliconDust HDHomeRun hardware/device. I used Elgato/Geniatech EyeTV 3 for many years with a Elgato Netstream (DTT) hardware/device until the hardware/device failed.
