Now the Netstream can be found in my network, but published channels do not work, and it has no webinterface for tuning or creating an m3u.

ELGATO EYETV TUNERS HOW TO

The key to the solution was described in a few forums: a factory reset! ( Hint 1 / Hint 2 / How to factory reset Netstream 4C )Īfter Factory reset, the firmware is set back to a development version that supports SAT>IP. But of course I want a decent PVR backend & nice frontend like Kodi, so I experimented with VLC, Kodi and Mediaportal - no chance to get the Netstream work.

ELGATO EYETV TUNERS SOFTWARE

I could not make use of the tuner with any other software than the EyeTV app, or the bundled Terratec Home Cinema. Works great except for a few issues.Īs Elgato EyeTV Netstream 4S and Netstream 4C both share the same issues with the SAT>IP tuner not being discoverable, IÂ´ll share my experience with the 4C here. Spoiler on the result: it works, mainly because of a factory reset.īefore I go into detail, a big THANK YOU! After quite a few experiments with other PVRs / clients, I ended up with NextPVR Server + Kodi Clients for my Elgato EyeTV Netstream SAT>IP tuners. It's a great feature for those of you wanting to watch stuff in bed away from your computer in another room, and turns the software into much more than just another TV tuner with recording function.As I found no clear guide on the web that tells you if & how the Elgato EyeTV Netstream 4C SAT>IP tuner works with PVR backends & Kodi frontend, I decided to share my findings here. We especially like the export to iPod mode, which will export the recording to an iPod friendly format leaving you with the task of having to transfer it to your iPod and little else.īetter still the software also allows you to stream recordings via the software to the Safari browser on an iPod touch, iPhone or other Mac via your local wireless network. To help you work out what's on when there is an EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) available however this does only last for a year before costing you £15. Everything is controlled via the software interface or for those who really are too lazy to click a mouse button a standard looking TV remote that’s bundled in the box

Like standard PVRs you can also automatically set the pre- and post- record lengths so you never miss the start or finish to your programme. Furthermore you can set the software to record your favourite programme. The software allows you to obviously watch television, but beyond general viewing you get Sky+ features like pause, rewind and fast forward.

Get past the fact that it's useless in all areas without a really strong digital signal - that's unlikely to be on the train then - and the actual application and interface of the software is very good. We've tried to test the Elgato EyeTV DTT Deluxe in a number of places around the UK and without a house aerial, failed every time to get a signal using the remote aerial options.Ĭlearly someone believes you can connect out and about - it's small remember - but we've been unable to get it to work making the need for it to be small somewhat pointless. In reality you're unlikely to get a signal unless you plug it into a house aerial that sits high in the sky.

Plug it in, install the software and away you go. There is an aerial out to fit one of three options in the box (small, large and house) and a light so you can see what is going on and that's it. With a device that small, understandably features on the hardware are kept to a minimum.

Instead of the big hunks of plastic you got at the turn of the century, the EyeTV DTT Deluxe TV tuner micro-stick is the size of a small USB drive no bigger than your thumb.

But does it work? We get watching to find out.Īs the MacBook doesn't, like some PC laptops, have a TV tuner built-in, Elgato has stepped into the breach with the DTT Deluxe, a reworking of its DTT model just considerably smaller. Well Elgato want you to have some downtime with a tiny TV tuner that you can plug into a spare USB socket, allowing you to kick off your shoes and relax. (Pocket-lint) - Work, work, work, that's probably all you do on your MacBook.
