Damn it, now I feel the need to legitamise my iPod Touch. Decisions decisions - looks like an awesome app, well done!

I'll say it again...this app is the killer app that makes owning a pvr so much more enjoyable. You kick butt marc.

I wish I could, marc, Its just not doing the deal. One selects a program for recording, and of course my account knows I use EyeTV, and then... nothing happens.

I'll try again tomorrow (there is NOTHING worth recording right at the moment) and see if it will work. I cannot imagine how overnight might alter circumstances but one never knows. It would be wonderful to have it all working, I dont know how many times I have been out and thought oh damnation (or stronger epithets) I wanted to record x, y and z and I forgot to set up EyeTV to do it.

Hi Kyte: Please PM me and we'll try to get it all working

Thanks. This is certainly not just my work though. There's a lot of people at IceTV who have put countless hours into everything we do, especially the software manager for this iPhone app.

Thanks, Marc, PM sent. Mind you, its almost bedtime :P

[edit]. Maybe its like asking someone where your sox are.. as soon as you ask, you find them. In other words I seem to have solved the problem, it was a preferences issue and I am not going to confess how silly it was

i like this app but i must say it's a little confusing on the TV Guide screen. I would rather sort out the list by channels and be able to flick left and right for each seperate channel. just a thought

It's a fantastic app and it will be very useful, thanks!

A channel view would be nice but if I had to choose between that and the current view by time I'd choose by time.

It would also be nice to have a quick next/previous day button to cycle through the days without having to select the date manually. Also am I right that the search only works on the currently selected day?

I'm loving it considering I"ve got the iPhone and Eye TV.

Just to clarify (for me the dumb one), does:

(1) Your Mac/computer have to be on, and logged onto your username ?
(2) EyeTV have to be running, or will it start itself when it's aware of a recording I've asked it do via the IceTV app ?

One thing that would be great (and sure it's going to happen) is that when you choose a program, that a highlight bar appears at where you've selected, because sometimes I'm not sure if I hit the right TV show.

That, and a flick through the days ahead as mentioned would make it SWEET !

Thanks for this.

I was so fed up with turning to my macbook to see what was on tv. I'm a happy bunny.

Thanks.

p.s it's now got me thinking about the whole eye tv thing.

Guessing that all you peeps on this thread know what they are doing with ice tv. Do you recommend a particular pvr? How easy is it to get the content on your pvr to your mac. I was just thinking that my macbook is won't always be switched on but a pvr is? I guess the pvr also needs a phone line to connect to ice tv. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks again for this iPhone app.

I'd love to be able to afford the top of line Beyonwiz setup... but since I cannot, I bought the Pinnacle Hybrid stick from IceTV. It came with a 3 month subscription and when that ran out I bought a 12 month sub... and will continue to subscribe because its a fab service... even more now with this app

DP-S1 HD PVR Digital Set Top Box - Overview yummy. It connects via wifi to your ADSL modem/router. Other Beyonwiz products connect via cable. Of course there are other IceTV compatible products (one of the Topfields as I recall) but the linked product above is the bees knees. IMO of course

No 3 on Free Apps!
Congratulations guys

Wow. That's great.

Thank you MacTalk... I'm sure everyone here downloading it played a big part in it getting to #3!

If you're after a PVR, then probably the Beyonwiz DP-P1 or Topfield 7100. Both should be about $700 if you hunt around. The Topfield 7100 will require a firmware update to function with IceTV and the IceTV iPhone app, but I believe that's due for release soon.

If your main goal is to get content onto your Mac, then an EyeTV tuner would be much cheaper and a lot easier. From there you can export with one click to an iPod or iPhone.

Single high def tuners are about $150. You can also get dual tuner models, or buy two single tuners and have them record two channels at once (the EyeTV application can handle two or more separate tuners).

All PVRs that function with IceTV require an internet connection. The PVRs themselves either have ethernet or wifi.
(Actually, this isn't 100% true, there some older PVRs that used a USB stick to upload their EPG, but you don't want those... too much effort to do that every couple of days!)

Nup. The IceTV iPhone app talks directly to our servers. Your Mac running EyeTV will wake up and check with the IceTV server to see if there's anything that needs to be recorded. How often this happens depends on your EyeTV settings.

The behaviour on the various PVRs we work with varies. Right now a lot of them need to be left on. In the future they'll probably do the same thing as EyeTV does... they'll wake up periodically to check with the IceTV server for recordings.

EyeTV will wake up and launch to record. However, if you want EyeTV to keep checking for new recordings from the IceTV iPhone app then you should leave it open. So if you're using a Mac as a media center then just leave EyeTV open the entire time. The Mac will automatically sleep and wake up as required.

It should be like that... it's a bug that it's not. We'll update very soon to fix it.

More improvements are also planned.

Hey, great app. Would love to see view by channel rather than by time.
