I'm having trouble getting my Macbook to recognise the signal from a VCR.

I'm using s-video input (I've tried composite video input via RCAs as well), but in EYE TV, the TV window just reads 'no signal'. I've run the setup wizard, but no joy.

Help! Any ideas about what I could try or change?:confused:

Is the software for the EYE TV Universal Binary or is it running under Rosetta?

I believe they updated it recently. It certainly runs on Intel Macs, and I think the latest update is UB, but I'm not sure.

Just to be clear: you've installed EyeTV2.0, updated to the latest version, attached the "multi-cable" to the EyeTV EZ, attached that to a working source, selected the proper input (say, S-Video, not the antenna/tuner), and verified that your VCR is sending a signal, and still nothing?
