Infrared: Setting up |
Getting set up & connected may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. |
Making the physical connections and installing the infrared software: • Follow the instructions that came with your EyeTV to ensure that your EyeTV is properly connected to your Mac by Firewire or USB. If you have a regular cable connection, connect that to the cable input on your EyeTV, and make sure that the internal tuner works. |
Now that everything is connected, you will need to set up the infrared software: For the IRTrans, you will use the iRed application. For the ZephIR, you will use the ZephIR!X application. |
Setting up the infrared software: • If you have a ZephIR, choose the "Download Component" menu item, and see if your cable box or satellite brand and model is listed. If so, you're in luck you don't have to program the codes. Even if your exact model is not listed, if there is a similar model (even a much older one) by the same manufacturer, it may still work. Choose that one as a starting point. |
