But then it wasn't EyeTV's fault either and, yes, they had to do a significant amount of work to produce a version that works under Catalina so they shouldn't suffer either. I considered that it was not a situation of my making so why should I have to pay for an upgrade. I was initially peeved that I had to pay for an upgrade because EyeTV 3 wouldn't run under Catalina. I have to agree with the majority of posters here. Be sensible and pay for what you are using. Why do you have a problem with that? I doubt that you would be very happy if you worked for someone and they threatened to fire you if you wanted paying. Now that EyeTV 4 has been released, their very low initial asking price is much more reasonable, but you can still make a saving by buying some hardware from Geniatech, which might still have EyeTV 3 included, but which will allow you to obtain EyeTV 4 for no additional cost.Īnd yes a new major iteration of any software usually means that the application has been re-written in a substantial way.

That bought a tuner plus the software for about £90. The best way to make the upgrade worthwhile was to buy a new low-cost tuner from Elgato, the then owners. When EyeTV 3 was released, the software license cost around £80. I've used EyeTV since the days of EyeTV 2. A thing that i find unfair and that obviously will NOT do. After having to upgrade from 3 to 4 due to Apple's Catalina upgrade, now it looks that the activation key for 3 doesn't work for 4 and i should have to pay again to keep on using the program because of changes related to companies.
