I have EyeTV 200 and works without problems after upgrade to Leopard.Have you the latest version (2.5) of eyeTV software?
My EyeTv hybrid works....howerver I can't use the apple remote when the EyeTv program is open, for EyeTv or Front Row. El Gato says a software update should be coming shortly....
Lost streaming with 2.5
Eye tv works ok... but I've lost the wifi streaming thing to my ipod touch. Video thumbnails are missing but text is there on a plain page, I guess I need to move something but no idea what.
My eye tv recording folder is a top level one on my hard drive and the app is in the apps folder. I've checked the port 2170 is open, and it is... help, I really like this feature.

Right click on the EyeTV app and select "show package contents".
Open the "resources" folder.
Look for EyeConnect.app
Double click it.That will start the streaming server for EyeTV.
wow that was quick, cheers. Tried that, nothing seemed to happen, what should eyeconnect do? I still have no video thumbnails, just plain text same in all browsers.
update... Reboot of everything and removed all traces of application enhancer... it now works! Hurrah.
thanks peace

Yeah I had the same issue....I just terminated the EyeConnect process and restarted and was fine! Wish i had known that before i re-exported all my recordings ha!
Clicker A Great If Not Better Temporary Soloution
Like many of you above my apple remote has now stopped functioning within eyetv since upgrading to 10.5, but for those of you that cant go without just keep in mind if you have a bluetooth phone you can still use sailing clicker to give you full remote functionality, works a treat and is a great if not a better temporary replacement for your apple remote for the time being, untill eyetv give us a FREEE!!!!! update

Another bug: don't try and change Spaces with EyeTV running Fullscreen. It turns all the screens black, and freaks out. It's possible to get out of it with a key combination, but I forgot what the combo was.
EyeTV 2.5.1 is out
Found by "EyeTV menue - Look for Updates". The readme file (quote colored):
EyeTV 2.5.1 is a Universal application. It requires a Macintosh computer with PowerPC G4 (500MHz or faster), PowerPC G5 or Intel Core processor, and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later. We recommend Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard with all software and security updates installed.
What's new in EyeTV 2.5.1?
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Support
EyeTV 2.5.1 is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and supports the following key new features of Mac OS X 10.5: Quick Look, iChat, Spaces.
Quick Look
Using Quick Look in Leopard, you can preview the contents of your EyeTV recordings and schedules in the Finder. Cover Flow is fully supported. If the EyeTV recording has been prepared for Wi-Fi Access, the recording can also be played back in the Finder, at a reduced resolution.
Tip: To enable Wi-Fi Access, open EyeTV's preferences, select the Wi-Fi Access pane, and click Start. EyeTV will automatically prepare all new recordings for Wi-Fi Access, as well as optionally convert all your existing recordings. Recordings that have already been converted for Wi-Fi Access are marked with a checkbox in a new column in EyeTV's Programs window.
iChat Theater
To share an EyeTV recording with a friend using iChat on Leopard, the recording must have been prepared for Wi-Fi. Simply drag it to a video chat-in-progress window in iChat. You can control playback, and you get to provide your own running commentary!
Spaces
You can set up EyeTVs player window to play back in every Space. To enable floating windows in every Space, select Keep Player Windows On Top from EyeTV's View menu. Player windows that float feature an uncluttered, minimal title bar. This applies to live television windows as well as recordings.

For Freebox, streams with more than 10 radio stations are now supported.
