EyeTV 2.5.1, Free Update Adds Support for New Features in Leopard

For all EyeTV users who have installed the new Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, Elgato's free EyeTV 2.5.1 update adds support for the following key new Leopard technologies: Cover Flow, Quick Look, iChat, and Spaces. EyeTV 2.5.1 is fully compatible with the new operating system.

Cover Flow--Television shows recorded with EyeTV, which are stored in the "EyeTV Archive" folder on the Macintosh hard drive, are now browseable using Cover Flow.

Quick Look--EyeTV 2.5.1 supports Quick Look, and EyeTV recordings can easily be started and played back from the Finder by configuring a preference in EyeTV to automatically prepare new recordings for Wi-Fi Access.

iChat--With EyeTV 2.5.1, EyeTV recordings are integrated into video chats, featuring playback controls and the possibility to add one's own audio commentary by configuring a preference in EyeTV to automatically prepare new recordings for Wi-Fi Access.

Spaces--In EyeTV 2.5.1, playback windows for live television and recordings can be set to float across all defined Spaces, so that they are visible even when switching between environments.

EyeTV 2.5.1 is available for download from this El Gato Web page. [Bill Fox]
