EyeTV 3 adds smart searches, file sharing
A new search function has been added to the electronic program guide, letting users hunt shows by multiple criteria. That criteria can then be saved as a Smart Guide in the sidebar, and used to record certain shows automatically, with the option of deciding how many will be kept in the EyeTV Archives.
One of the most important changes is the expansion of networking options, so that Archive videos can now be shared with other users in a network, much like iTunes media. Wi-Fi Access has been expanded beyond the iPhone and iPod touch to include several other smartphones, and bandwidth can be throttled back to meet connection restrictions.
Miscellaneous changes include Smart Playlists, integration of the video editor into the player window, and the ability to save and restore channel scans. EyeTV 3 is available now for $80. The company tangentially mentions that it has updated its Hybrid and 250 Plus receivers, which can now decode unencrypted Clear QAM channels. The receivers cost $150 and $200.
