Start EyeTV when device is plugged in - Check this box to have the EyeTV
software launch automatically when you plug in the EyeTV unit to your
Macintosh. Uncheck this box if you prefer to launch EyeTV manually. If you
want EyeTV to wake from sleep, auto-launch, or boot the system for scheduled
recordings, this box must be checked (see Chapter 5, Advanced Recording
Features).
Always open Live TV window at startup - Check this box to open a Live TV
window whenever EyeTV is launched.
Automatically check for updates - Check this box if you'd like EyeTV to
periodically check for software updates. If an update is posted, then you will
be notified when starting EyeTV.
Extend scheduled recording time - This setting helps automatically recorded
programs deal better with slight variances in individual channels' show start
and stop times.
Storage Preferences
"EyeTV Archive" Location - EyeTV stores its recordings inside the user's Library
folder in a folder named "EyeTV Archive" by default. Click Change to move this
location.
Live TV Buffer Size - EyeTV sets aside a certain amount of disk space in the
EyeTV Archive in order to buffer live television. The higher the amount of disk
space, the longer EyeTV can pause live television, depending on the quality
setting used.
