DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to interface to the Elgato EyeTV Digital Video Recorder. EyeTV is a piece of software and hardware for Mac OS X which can record and play back television much like a Tivo. This module allows you to interface to the EyeTV software, view the channel list and the recorded programmes and schedule recordings.

See Mac::EyeTV::Programme for information on scheduling a recording.

You should create Mac::Glue bindings to EyeTV before using this (along the lines of 'sudo gluemac EyeTV').

The EyeTV software itself is available from Elgato Systems at http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=support_updates_eyetv
