A much better EyeTV setup is available there and an even better one will be included in the next Mira update.

It will support all EyeTV modes automatically, including full screen.  
(Version 1.2.8r2)

TWISTEDMELON  The gold-standard archive program for Mac OS.

In simple terms, this is the WiZip replacement for the Mac. You can forget about the clunky Deluxe version of Stuffit at $80 with this.

More format support than the competition, better price, better looking interface and terrific support.

A+  
(Version 1.2.2)

TWISTEDMELON  Make sure you're running the latest version (1.1.6) and if your battery ever has issues again you will see a visual notification on your screen. And you also won't get any incorrect button actions! :)

Enjoy.  
(Version 1.1.6)

TWISTEDMELON  Long-Press of play will put the system to sleep for most profiles by default. :) SO you don't need to set aside a specific button.  
(Version 1.1.5a)

TWISTEDMELON  The version available now (Morning of Jul 28 2006) is rebuilt and good to go.  
(Version 1.1.5a)

TWISTEDMELON  New version is up (AM Jul 28 2006)   
(Version 1.1.5a)

TWISTEDMELON  Just wanted to put up a note letting people know that the first copy of 1.1.5 that I put online had some corrupt files in the installer apparently.

This caused the Multi Actions not to show up in the UI (Multis are files within the program).

I'm terribly sorry and will rebuild the package in the morning and have a new fresh copy up as soon as possible.  
(Version 1.1.5)

TWISTEDMELON  If anyone has any issues with installation or uninstallation, please contact the Twisted Melon support email address. We're here to help you with mira and try to offer very timely replies.

In case it wasn't clear from the info on the site, the main mira interface is in the form of a standard Mac OS System Preference Pane - so mira is always available right in System Preferences.  
(Version 1.1)

TWISTEDMELON  We've seen a few other people asking for a more open trial version, so that's something we will definitely address - likely before extending the feature set we had planned for the next release.

The entry here at MacUpdate will be updated when the new version is out.  
(Version 1.1)

TWISTEDMELON  Excellent, so then I can expect an email from you giving us the opportunity to figure out what's behind the issues you've had and how to get mira working as-designed on your system.  
(Version 1.1)

TWISTEDMELON  We provide a number of contact email addresses and a vast amount of information in a clear and organized help book and online FAQ specifically to assist anyone/everyone with the product.

The only reason I saw the MacUpdate comment was because mira was a fresh addition to this site.

If you are truly interested in evaluating the product and concerned that I should be spending time fixing issues, then please write to our support address and we can get to the bottom of all your problems.

I apologise if you were offended by my observations regarding the intentions of your post, but you sure can see how one might come to that conclusion. I would not expect my customers to go to the product pages of other competing software to advertise my site.

Twisted Melon employes a number of people at this time, so while I take a few seconds to write this response, new features are being added and existing features are being revised. Drop us an email so we can find out what's wrong on your install.

TWISTEDMELON  1. With a few thousand downloads, be assured mira most definitely works

2. Usability and interface design have been the central focus of the positive feedback we've received.

3. mira, like anything else that uses the Apple Remote, must take control of the remote to work. Unlike the other solutions, mira provides a way to disable itself and return control to the system: just pick "Disable mira" from the State Menu in the top left of the interface.

4. Front Row is the only default item included in the Launch Menu - that's because that menu is for your own favorite programs - put whatever you want in there (including AppleScripts)

5. Anywhere you can pick to OPEN any type of program you can also select an AppleScript - it is mentioned all over the Help (just type "applescript" into the mira fully indexed andvery robust help book)

6. System Preference Panes need installers if they're to get put in the correct place. Many people don't know how to drag-install system-type files, and double-clicking could lead to installing to the User domain which means it would not be accessible by others on the system. It's a clean install using a standard Mac OS Package. Uninstall is as simple as selecting "Uninstall" from the State Menu. You could also just delete the mira.prefpane

7. The program is priced aggressively according to the benefits and features it offers.

Any "Reminder" dialog only appears after 7 days or if a user has been manipulating the preference files/registration data by hand (to circumvent limits, etc.) With 3 items active at one time you can still try anything you want out. Just switch something else on and then try it, including creating new profiles in seconds.

Speaking of alternatives... I'm not one to point fingers, but why is this your absolute FIRST posting and from a FREE email address in Germany on top of that? I'll let everyone else draw their own conclusions, but I think we're dealing with comment FUD/SPAM here.

TWISTEDMELON  I know it seems that it can't be the battery. But if you would, please humor me and try a new fresh battery.

One other customer has already replaced the battery in his remote twice (once before buying mira and once since).

He also didn't think it was the battery and also didn't notice the problem without mira enabled.

When the battery is low the Apple receiver driver sends low battery warnings - it's possible mira is picking these up as spurious presses.

We will be looking into this during the following days - we're in the process of draining a couple of batteries now.  
(Version 1.1)

TWISTEDMELON  After restarting you can check a few things to help get to the bottom of the double-menu press.

The first is to set mira to DISABLE using the pop-up menu on the top left of its interface (the State Menu) - it takes up to 10 seconds for mira to disabe itself completely.

Now try the menu button again - though I'm not sure if you will see the problem because Front Row takes quite a long time to come up.

My best guess as to the source of the problem however is a weak battery. Onc e the battery on the remote becomes drained, its transmissions get a little confusing for the Apple receiver. I've already seen with a weak battery that the Down button or Up button can be recognized as the menu button.
