![]() ![]() Already the cost of upgrading to Snow Leopard has more than doubled. Unfortunately, since Elgato would not be updating version 2 for Snow Leopard, it meant spending £29 or throw the EyeTV in the bin. I had of course been offered to upgrade a while ago, but since I only use EyeTV for watching live TV, there was no justification for spending money on an upgrade to get features I wouldn’t use. Apparently versions 3.0 through 3.0.4 were not compatible only problem was that I was running v2.5.3 which was not even mentioned. The following are my experiences so far with various pieces of software and devices: Elgato EyeTVīefore applying the Snow Leopard upgrade I checked Apple’s list of incompatible software and Elgato’s EyeTV was the only one listed that affected me. Many understandably see no reason in spending hundreds of pounds or dollars on the latest version when the one they have “does everything I need thank you very much” a situation repeated in the Windows world where a significant number of companies still run Office 2000 and even Office 97. #Eyetv leopard Patch#Trying to find updates and patches means trawling the net and it is interesting to see how support forums are populated by two polarised camps: on the one side you have those angry that has not issued a patch to work with Snow Leopard, versus those who chastise the former camp for not having already upgraded to the latest version (and paid handsomely for it). While the PPC-Intel Babel Fish Rosetta is still available for install, this is no guarantee that older software will still run. The problem is that while I experienced few problems moving from Panther to Tiger, or Tiger to Leopard, Apple’s latest incarnation of OS X appears to have taken more away than it added, and in doing so it has cut off several pieces of software and device drivers. Disregarding the fact that at £25 (21.73+VAT), UK users have to pay 22% more than their US counterparts for the Snow Leopard upgrade, you will be extremely lucky if you get away with only spending 25 quid. ![]()
