I like the Elgato EyeTV program for recording the 6am BBC news.
Unfortunately I updated both it and OS X at the same time (stupid, and
I'm old enough to know better). Now it sometimes doesn't work. For
instance it recorded two TV shows last night but nothing this morning.
How does the alarm clock work in OS X? Is it different for wake from
sleep and wake from shutdown? Can I look somewhere for stored wakeup
times? I'm guessing that there must be a queue in a disk file, that the
front entry is transferred to a hardware clock (which runs in shutdown),
and that the new OS (10.6.3) sometimes fails to do this. Or maybe EyeTV
needs to enter the next wakeup time when it stops and its new version
(3.3.2) sometimes forgets to do this. Trying fixes and testing them
takes forever, so any help or hint would be very welcome.
