Elgato has introduced EyeTV 3.0.2, ushering in support for H.264.
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.
Support for the new video standard is interesting because it’s H.264 that’s used by the the newly-announced UK Freesat service, though the company hasn’t yet been able to test compatibility yet,.
The new version also has interesting stuff for specific regions. For example, users in the US will benefit from Closed Caption support in QuickTime Exports.
Users in Sweden gain an Electronic Programming Guide, and the full support for H.264 broadcasts will benefit users in Norway and New Zealand whose digital signals are broadcast entirely in H.264.
A new Unwatched Recordings badge, improved (more readable) onscreen menus and a number of bug fixes fill out the release, which will ship soon.
