## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I have to buy an antenna, or is it included?**
A: Hi Juan,Unfortunately, this product does not come with an OTA Antenna included in the package.  However, you can find a variety of awesome OTA Antenna brands at great prices here on Amazon.  Once you purchase your own OTA Antenna, you will enjoy the benefits of your EyeTV U6!Best,MyGicaTV

**Q: Can i used eyetv u6 device by connecting to it my internet router instead of to an antenna?**
A: No.  The two are completely different connectors and signals.  The U6 uses off-air or cable RF signals using an F connector.  An internet router uses Ethernet with an RJ45 connector.  Its like putting yogurt in your car's fuel tank.  You can do it, but it won't work.

**Q: Does this tuner work on a 64 bit format for Mac computers?**
A: For anyone reading this question, do not listen to Geniatech. Their answer is EXTREMELY misleading and inaccurate. While the hardware itself technically will work on a 64-bit machine, the included EyeTV 3 software 100% will NOT. As such, you are forced to make an additional purchase of their 4.0 software at a highly inflated price, to replace their useless software you can't use, and has no value, with the software you can, from Geniatech, for over $31 USD.

**Q: Is the eye tv3 software compatible with mac os catalina?**
A: Compatible with eye tv3 64 bit but not 32 bit

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This is just fantastic! A+++
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2022*

For this price point, I was hesitant to buy at first because of the mixed reviews and there's not enough details on the product page that I was looking for, specifically for use in iMac. I have a Maverick OS.Now for the actual review of this product, an email from Geniatech was received containing the product key code needed, with links to specific software needed to be downloaded depending on which MacOS you're using. Installation was a breeze. I connected an antenna using the RF adapter that came with it. Scanned 78 OTA channels, and instantly started showing the broadcast. There is a program guide that's also helpful. It works on maximized 5K resolution of iMac! Picture is very clear and there's no lag. Overall I'm so impressed with this product and definitely recommends it for Mac aficionados.

    SOFTWARE NOT INCLUDED!! Useless for all updated Macs!  DO NOT BUY!!
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023*

Product CLEARLY says that a software key code will be provided with purchase. When I contacted the seller, their response was it is not included! The "Free Included" software is only 32 BIT! Absolutely useless for an updated Mac.The product is USELESS without the software.  DO NOT BUY!

    Reducing signal strength fixed signal quality issues
  

*by N***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2021*

I was upgrading the EyeTV Hybrid running EyeTV 3.6.9 (32-bit) running on MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave) to the EyeTV U6 running EyeTV 4 (64-bit) on MacOS 10.14.6 so I could then upgrade to MacOS 11 and later.  This was the only upgrade path available for EyeTV (November 2021) as the EyeTV Hybrid hardware is no longer supported on the Mac.  The EyeTV U6 is a single channel ATSC 1.0 digital over the air receiver.  Although Geniatech claims to have other similar devices - even supporting ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV, they are either not supported on the Mac or are vaporware.  The current version of EyeTV is 4.0.0 (8526).I installed the new hardware - a simple swap.  I installed the new software over the old, which caused an error during initialization, but restarting EyeTV 4 appeared to fix the issue.I then ran the extended channel search and was surprised that a lot of the previously available channels were no longer found.  Many of the missing channels are on a mountain with direct line of site at a distance of 20 - 25 miles.  I have an outdoor omnidirectional antenna with preamp - which is then split between two devices - so there should have been plenty of signal.With EyeTV 4, in the EyeTV4 Program window, under Devices, under EyeTV U6, is a display that shows the tuner status, which includes both signal strength and signal quality.  After a bit of looking at various channels, I noted that most had full signal strength (100%) but lousy signal quality (<35%).  Very strange.  How could that be?Then it occurred to me that perhaps the signal was too strong - resulting in distortion in the EyeTV U6 - much like the clipping in audio amplifiers when the volume is turned up too high.  I remembered that the antenna had two amplification levels - low and high - and it was set to high.  So I changed the antenna amplification to the low setting and looked as the signal quality for the same channels.  All improved - going from typically below 35% to over 95%.  Signal strength remained at 100%.  I repeated the experiment to verify the results.Clearly, using high amplification with the EyeTV U6 produced too much signal which resulted in lousy signal quality while using low amplification produced excellent results.  Thus, too much signal can be just as bad as too little signal.After setting the antenna amplifier back to low, I reran the channel search and found all of the expected channels.  Problem solved.The older EyeTV Hybrid with EyeTV 3 did not have a signal quality display - only a signal strength display - and not a very good one at that.  So it is not possible to know how marginal things may have been under the old system - it may have been barely working and I would not have known.  The old system did have a problem with the program guide on one of the major channels which the new system does not have.So the new system seems to work at least as well as the old and allowed me to to find and diagnose a previously unknown problem with too much signal.
