Hi Bruce,
I found the file you mentioned. There did not appear to be many events of any
type, though I was not sure what to look for. Here is a text summary of what I
see in the .plist file (after expanding the triangles):
Key Type Value
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Root Dictionary (2 items)
WARNING String Do not edit this file by hand.
wakepoweron Array (1 item)
Item 0 Dictionary (3 items)
eventtype String wakepoweron
scheduledby String com.elgato.eyetv
time Date May 3, 2012 5:27:25 PM
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So it looks like maybe my Eyetv software is scheduled to record something today
at 5:27 PM. Is there anything obvious here that might be causing my problem?
Is there anything obvious that is missing?
Thanks,
Gregg
