Neil, I have today for the first time tested my EyeTV hybrid on my MacPro5,1 under MacOS 10.6.5 using EyeTV 3.4.3 and it worked perfectly. I find that the DVB program information broadcast by the TV stations themselves better than the info sent by ICETV. Just set up the EyeTV software to collect the DVB program data from the transmissions, and then at any time you can look at the program guide, that you can make as comprehensive as you wish. Clicking on a program's red button sets it ready for recording; simple!
You don't give any vital details such as the version of EyeTV software that you are using, so I can't give you any useful advice about your problems with EyeTV on the i7 iMac. I also have EyeTV 2.5.3 so, if necessary, can try that under MacOS 10.6.5 when you have given me some more useful info. My EyeTV Hybrid is now back on the MacMini1,1 under MacOS 10.4.1, with EyeTV 2.5.3, that runs the main TV setup in our house. Tomorrow it gets updated to EyeTV 3.4.3. Hope it keeps working!
