This is what you see when you launch the EyeTV Setup
Assistant. The left-hand window is Live TV, which you can't interact with
during setup; the middle window is the Setup Assistant; and the right-
hand window is the On Screen Controller, which you should ignore during
setup.
Youcan'tinteractwiththeLiveTVwindowwhiletheSetupAssistantisrunning,soleavethe
On Screen Controller alone. If you accidentally pull up a menu in the Live TV window, you
won't be able to dismiss it until you've completed setup.
Here's how to work through the Setup Assistant:
1. Click through the welcome screen and the various screens about the license
agreement and your country.
2. You're prompted to choose your hardware. The Setup Assistant should detect it
automatically. Click Next.
3. WhenSetupAssistantasksifyou'regoingtousetheEyeTVwithacableorsatel-

If you don't have one, click Create Account, enter your information, and click
Create Account. Once your account is set up, click Next.
5. Now things get interesting. The Setup Assistant prompts you to connect the
video inputs to your EyeTV (
Figure 117
), which you should have already done.
Select your video connection type from the three options.
If the Live TV window hasn't already displayed a picture, it should now. If you
see No Signal in the Live TV window, check your connections and make sure
you've selected the right input. Once you have a picture, click Next.
