Hi Felx, I have exactly the same problem. With EyeTV 3.1.1, the problem gets even worse, as failure to confirm the "stop recording" dialog can result in two simultaneous full screen players being open at the same time, which really chokes eyeTV. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem on my machine. I also posted this to the EyeTV forums.
My setup is EyeTV version 3.1.1 build 4916, but it also happens with the prior (release) build. I'm running on a mac mini core 2 duo hooked up through MiniDisplay - DVI - HDMI big screen LCD. Source is Hauppauge HDPVR 1212. I'm running remote buddy 1.12.
1. put EyeTV in full screen mode, live TV
2. start recording the show that you're watching (full screen menu apple remote "menu", "more", "record")
3. change channels with full screen menu, apple remote ("menu" ; "channels"; go to another channel number, "select"
4. EyeTV will pop up the red alert - "Please stop the recording before changing channels"
5. Try to dismiss the alert by hitting "menu" on the apple remote.
6. Now, I always get a blue screen (full screen) with the full screen EyeTV menu (options are: recordings, channels, guide, more) on top. Remote controls are unresponsive.
7. To dismiss the blue screen, right click on your mouse to bring up the contextual menu and choose the "exit full screen" option.
8. Now, I see two EyeTV player windows. The one on top is a blue screen with the EyeTV menu (now in a regular application window). The second, behind that, is an EyeTV full screen player with the program that I'm recording playing live, and the red "Please stop the recording before changing channels" alert still on it.
9. to get out of this mess, you can use a keyboard to close the window with the blue screen and mouse to hit "OK" in the red alert. I haven't found a way to get out of it with just the remote control.
