I then force quit EyeTV Helper with Activity Monitor, deleted the EyeTV folder inside Library/Application support, and restarted EyeTV. I also created a dummy text file which I named Wakein (no extension), which was intended to replace the genuine file (full of Terminal commands) in the EyeTV package in Contents/Resources. I literally ripped out the heart of the application. I looked inside EyeTV Helper package and deleted everything inside the folder Contents/MacOS. I found the EyeTV Helper application in the EyeTV application bundle, in Contents/Resources. I finally decided to tweak the EyeTV program in order to cripple its abilities on the workstation. EyeTV asked for an admin password on next launch, and reinstalled this folder and its contents. I was also unsuccessful after force quitting EyeTV Helper and deleting the EyeTV folder in Librarys/Application Support. ![]() But every time I started EyeTV, it silently re-established this program for next startup. I tried to delete the EyeTV Helper application in my user's Login Items - it was installed by EyeTV as a startup process. sometimes I even found my workstation idling with login screen after a vacation weekend - not so great. Things turned weird after I noticed that my workstation somehow cached the information about scheduled recordings and woke up my Mac in the middle of the night. ![]() Everything was fine editing the movies over the network is not a problem at all. I had to fiddle around a little bit to bypass the tuner configuration, because I don't want to record any movies from that workstation. ![]() My idea was to do the (time-consuming) editing and exporting from time to time on another workstation on my network, so I set up EyeTV on that workstation to point to the same EyeTV Archive on the NAS, which gave me full control over the recorded movies. EyeTV on the Server is configured to store all recordings in the EyeTV Archive sitting on a network-attached storage (NAS) device. I use my OS X Leopard Server with an EyeTV to do all of my recording, with the machine running 24/7.
