Elgato releases EyeTV 3 PVR software for Mac

As expected, Elgato has release an updated version of the company's popular PVR software for OS X. EyeTV 3 includes a vastly improved electronic program guide, with support for tasks like scheduling "Season Pass" style recordings. I was actually kind of surprised to find out that there previously was no good way to set a recording for an entire season of a television program, so it's good to see that EyeTV for Mac includes a feature that most Windows and Linux PVR programs have offered for ages.

There have also been improvements to EyeTV's 10-foot interface, as you can see in the video above, from our friends at TUAW. Here are just a few of the other goodies packed into EyeTV 3:

• Improvements in the Program Window make it easier to find and manage your media
• Full-text search of the program guide
• Save your guide search criteria
• Create Smart Playlists
• Share recorded programs over the home network
• Improved on-screen menus
• Stream videos over WiFi to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or other computer on the home network

EyeTV 3 is available for purchase now. A full version of the software will set you back $80, while existing users can upgrade for half that price.
