The EyeTV Helper's probably (I don't have EyeTV) a launchd job. Those
are easily disabled if you grab the free Lingon.app - leaving it
in-situ but disabled *might* be enough to fool EyeTV into not making it
active again.

Thanks for the suggestion Chris, but it doesn't appear in Lingon's list.

I found these instructions on macosxhints:

chmod 444 /Library/Application\ Support/EyeTV/EyeTV\
Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV\ Helper

Does that look like a safe thing to do?

If so, how do I do it? Copy and paste into terminal?

Darn. Plan B then :-)

That makes the actual helper application non-executable. That's worth
trying, and easily undo-able.

Yes, but you have to be careful of spaces and line breaks and stuff. If
you make sure it is all on one line that would probably be OK.

To be able to undo your change, first do:

ls -l /Library/Application\ Support/EyeTV/EyeTV\
Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV\ Helper

No, that didn't work either. Time for a chat with Elgato.
