Candelair is just a prefs pane that includes Remote Buddy's driver and provides an independant interface for installing and uninstalling it.
Remote Buddy's Setup Wizard offers the same. The driver is identical.
The Online Updater is only for updating Remote Buddy or its Behaviours to a new version from the web.
The Remote Buddy driver - including installation/uninstallation - is handled by the Setup Wizard and - unless you've expressly asked Remote Buddy to not tell you about an outdated or missing driver - it will, if that's the case, notify you about it on each start of the application.
The reason I asked about the driver is because you mentioned that it seems like the Finder would be controlled instead of EyeTV. Since Remote Buddy doesn't have any support for controlling the Finder, I followed that you were meaning the built-in OS X Apple Remote support. Which may or may not be a correct assumption.
Anyhow, whether or not you have the driver installed, can be determined easily and be brought down to just this one question:
Can you open and navigate the Remote Buddy menu with the remote?
If no, please go to the Setup Wizard and use the Install option to install the driver.
If yes, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
