EyeTV 2.3 adds Front Row-like menu


Elgato has released a fairly significant update to their EyeTV software that adds a Front Row-like menu UI for interacting with live TV, shows you've recorded and the program guide. Other sites are calling this 'Front Row integration', but I thought that was slightly misleading, as 'integration' simply mea the top-level menu in this new version (pictured) has an option to start Front Row; nothing more. In fact, from glancing at the i tructio in their 776 KB ReadMe file (link) about the update, it looks like this new version actually takes over the default Front Row keyboard shortcut of cmd + esc, forcing you to go through their menu if what you actually want is Front Row - though I could be wrong (btw, here's a tip Elgato: compre your D files to a JPEG or G before sla ing them in a ReadMe).

Other updates include su ort for two U sticks from Hau auge, exporting to Windows Media (as long as you've purchased the proper Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin), as well as a general export eed increase of 33%, and up to 500% depending on the source and exported format.

This update is a Universal Binary, free to registered users of EyeTV 2.x and should be available from the a 's own 'Check for Updates' menu.
