CyTV is a streaming solution for elgato's EyeTV family of TV tuners. It allows you to watch TV and recorded programs over a local network (wired or wireless) or the internet. You can pause and resume live TV on the client ("timeshift"), and you can also change channels remotely.
The CyTV Server requires a Mac with an EyeTV unit. On the client(s), you can use the
VideoLAN Client (VLC) media player to play the stream, so you can watch on any platform supported by VLC (and there are many!). The distribution also contains a special client application for Macs that gives you more control (like watching previous recordings, skipping back and forth, etc.).
New in this version:
-Fixed a problem that prevented the client from connecting via Rendezvous/Bonjour on Intel Macs.
-Fixed several transcoding problems (including crashes, not receiving audio and/or video, and lip sync issues).
