Advanced Recording Features
Auto-Launch of EyeTV to Record
EyeTV can launch automatically two minutes before a scheduled recording
is supposed to begin. For this to work, set the General Preferences to “Start
EyeTV when device is plugged in” (see Chapter 7, EyeTV Preferences).
Waking From Sleep to Record
The EyeTV software can wake up your Mac to enable scheduled recordings to
run (this feature only works with Mac OS 10.2 or later). Automatic wake up oc-
curs two minutes before the scheduled recording starts, in order to allow your
Mac time to wake up. For this to work, set the General Preferences to “Start
EyeTV when device is plugged in” (see Chapter 7, EyeTV Preferences). This fea-
ture should work if your display, hard drives or CPU are asleep - make sure the
Energy Saver sleep interval in the System Preferences is set for two minutes
or greater. Note that the system will not go to sleep while a Live TV window is
open.
Booting the Computer to Record
The EyeTV software can power on your Mac to enable scheduled recordings to
run (this feature only works with Mac OS 10.2 or later). Automatic power-on oc-
curs two minutes before the scheduled recording starts, in order to allow your
Mac time to start up. For this to work, set the General Preferences to “Start
EyeTV when device is plugged in” (see Chapter 7, EyeTV Preferences). Further-
more, automatic login must be enabled in the System Preferences. This feature
will power on your Mac, and potentially activate other peripherals that receive
power over the FireWire or USB buses.
Please Note: In all of the above cases, if you have extended the scheduled
recording time in the Recording Preferences, EyeTV will launch two minutes
before the padded time. For example, with the two minutes of default padding,
EyeTV will launch four minutes before the scheduled time.
