While the title may sound sad, it isn't meant to be. I quit because Elgato finally released EyeTV 2 with a one-button Apple TV export option. Thank you Elgato!!! I didn't note many of the other attempts I made to find the perfect recording settings because each time, I had to wait hours to see whether or not what I did was worth it. For anyone wondering, last night I was able to view a few of the transcoded HD tv episodes from the "one button" export feature and am extremely pleased. HD native from a Mac Mini will always be more ideal, but considering the hoops one needs to jump through to get to the right episode, press play and constantly tinker with a keyboard, exporting for use with Apple TV just works better. I'd love to post a few of the clips I was able to transcode, but alas, that's probably illegal (even if it were fair use) and I am not willing to take the chance. Just upgrade EyeTV 2 to the latest version and you'll be happy.
