How do I upgrade or downgrade EyeTV 3?

To update your version of EyeTV 3, you can use Check for Updates from the EyeTV menu.

That will upgrade to the next higher point version, like from 3.0.4 to 3.1.

However, if you want to move to an older version, you’ll need to use a special feature.

While EyeTV 3 is running, you can enter an URL into a web browser, that will force EyeTV to download a specific version.

That URL is in the form:

eyetv://checkforupdates?build=xxxx (where xxxx is a specific 4 digit build number for EyeTV)

Each release of EyeTV has a special build number, and you can have more than one available build for each point release. For example, EyeTV 3.0.4 has more than one build available – the newer builds fixed errors that were reported.

You can find the build number in the EyeTV menu, by choosing About EyeTV:

If you like to install a previous eyetv version, please contact gtesupport@geniatech.com.

Looking for the latest recommended build? Just use the Check for Updates feature.
