The 64 bit app's programme guide is not as good as the old 32 bit app
and it certainly does have some bugs but still, it does drive the EyeTV
Hybrid dongle well enough.

If there was an alternative I would gladly switch to it but so far I
haven't found one.  Given that old fashioned terrestrial broadcasting 
is legacy and being superceded by modern Internet programme delivery, 
I rather doubt that there will be development of new alternative apps.
