New in EyeTV 3.0.2 (May 8, 2008)

Full Support for H.264 Broadcasts - EyeTV now fully supports digital television H.264 broadcasts in standard TV and HDTV resolutions. More and more countries are adopting the H.264 video compression standard for digital television. H.264 provides excellent picture quality at lower data rates than MPEG-2, thus reducing the amount of bandwidth required per channel. The end result is that television stations can broadcast more channels, while using the same number of transmitters.
Several countries' over-the-air DVB-T broadcasts exclusively use the H.264 format: In Norway, both the free and Pay TV (RiksTV) services use H.264. Many other countries broadcast H.264 HDTV test transmissions in certain areas. H.264 broadcasts are also available in many digital cable systems and via satellite (DVB-S2). All EyeTV 310 digital satellite tuners shipped since November 2007 are capable of receiving DVB-S2. New Zealand's Freeview|HDTM service also uses H.264.
Closed Captions Support in QuickTime Format Exports (North America only) - EyeTV now supports the exporting of ATSC/NTSC Closed Captions for use on iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV. The Closed Captions are also supported for playback in QuickTime and iTunes. When an ATSC/NTSC EyeTV recording with Closed Captions is exported from within EyeTV, EyeTV automatically creates a Closed Captions text track. The Closed Captions will be played back on the iPhone, iPod and Apple TV if Closed Captions have been enabled on the device. Turn on "Show Closed Captioning" in QuickTime Player, or the appropriate "Show Closed Captions When Available" preference on the iPod/iPhone/Apple TV or in iTunes. EyeTV will export the last Closed Caption track used in EyeTV. For example, if CC3 captions are used, they will be converted to CC1 captions upon export. Only one Closed Captions track is supported. It is recommended to have the latest software and firmware updates for QuickTime, iTunes, iPhone, iPod and Apple TV as older versions did not support Closed Captions.
tvtv Sweden - Sweden has been added to the list of countries available for use with the tvtv electronic programming guide (EPG). When Sweden is selected as a country, the EPG will automatically be set to tvtv - UK.
Separate Deinterlacing Options for Standard TV and HDTV - EyeTV now has separate deinterlacing options for Standard TV and HDTV. For Standard TV on Intel Core Duo Macs, the default is Progressive Scan. For HDTV, the default is Always. To change deinterlacing, open the Display pane in the EyeTV Preferences.
The deinterlacing options can also be changed by using the On Screen Menu. This can be accessed by navigating to More>Settings>Display Options>Deinterlace in the On Screen Menu.
Improved On Screen Menus - The text used in the On Screen Menus has been updated for improved readability. Errors and messaging have also been improved to help users troubleshoot problems. The On Screen Menu now has an Audio item that can be used to select a specific track on recordings with multiple audio tracks.
Closed Captions (CC), HD, and Stereo Icons are now displayed in the Details screen of the On Screen Menu.
Unplayed Recordings Badge - EyeTV now displays a badge over the thumbnail of recordings that have not yet been viewed.
Hardware Support - Support has been added for the TerraTec Cinergy T USB XXS. Support has been added for the Digital Everywhere line of FireWire tuner products (FireDTV C/CI, T/CI, and S2). Please contact Digital Everywhere for a firmware update.
EyeTV 310 firmware has been updated to work with the Netherlands Pay TV provider "Canal Digitaal".
