Why wont EyeTV 2.4 work without an internet connection? - DaviDC. - 05-22-2007
Three times during the past month someone has stolen phone wire off the poles which knocked out telephone & internet service to my house. This in itself is the subject for a separate rant but the problem is that without an internet connection, EyeTV 2.4 wont work. I get the endless spinning beachball & the only way to make it stop is to force quit the application. I checked the Elgato FAQ but couldn't find out anything about this issue. There are always several recorded shows I could watch but not if the application wont work.

It may have something to do with the downloading of the electronic schedule.
Check the prefs and see if you can turn off the updating portion.

Ram's got it, turn off your EG.
It should time out though, mine does.

As worthless as the program guide is (huge holes in mine) you might as well turn it off.
