What is a .EYETV file?
The .EYETV file extension is used for a recording file created by a program called EyeTV. This program lets people watch and record live TV on their computers. The .EYETV file includes a video of a TV show that was recorded and also has some extra files that give more information about the recording.
To open and watch a .EYETV file, you can use the Geniatech EyeTV software on a computer or on an iOS device, like an iPhone or iPad. This software is specially made to work with these files.
The .EYETV file is a bit like a package that contains a video file, usually in MPEG format (which might be called an .MPG file), and other files that have extra details about the recording. These extra files can include an .EYETVP file, which is important for the recording.
If you want to see what's inside an .EYETV file, you can right-click on the file and choose "Show Package Contents." Inside, you'll find the video and metadata files. These files are usually kept in a folder named "EyeTV Archive." You can move this folder to a different place on your computer if you want, but you have to tell the EyeTV software where you moved it to.
The EyeTV software mainly works on computers with OS X (a type of operating system for Mac computers) and on iOS devices. However, the company that makes EyeTV, Geniatech, also makes other products that can be used with Windows and Android devices, but what's available might vary depending on where you live.
It's important to know that Geniatech took over the EyeTV product from another company called Elgato in February 2016. So, if you're looking for the latest updates or need help, Geniatech is now the company to contact.
