Thanks for asking.
1) You can configure the menu to your liking at Preferences > Menu.
The built-in ones can't be modified, but you can easily create a new
one (which can also be a copy of a built-in one) by pressing the "+"
button at the down-left in Preferences > Menu. Please find step-by-
step instructions in the Help's "How-To" section.
The trial version has no feature limitations at all. It's really just
time limited to 30 days.
2) You can add Custom Actions (=> again, please see the How-To section
for instructions) that contain an AppleScript to quit a specific
application. For EyeTV, the required AppleScript code would be
tell application "EyeTV" to quit
3) Remote Buddy automatically selects the correct Behaviour for the
currently active application. If EyeTV is the active application, that
will be EyeTV. If Front Row is the active application, that'll be
Front Row. I'm afraid that pyetv works in a way that breaks this
concept. You should be able to use Remote Buddy's virtual remote,
though, to simply pass through any remote events as Apple Remote
button events, so that - as lng as the virtual remote is active -
you'll get the exact same behaviour from your remote as without Remote
Buddy - which may be desirable in the case of pyetv.
4) Regarding Remote Buddy: does it really crash? (requester coming up)
Or does it get unresponsive? (beachball). The latter - if happening
after an EyeTV crash - is most likely an AppleScript targeting EyeTV
being executed by Remote Buddy and waiting for a response from EyeTV -
which - if EyeTV crashed - will be forever.
Please contact elgato support regarding crashes of eyeTV.
Apart from that, I'm afraid that your plan to store live recorded
video on the AirPort Extreme Base Station will not work, because its
performance is (with high likelyness) too low to keep up with the
amount of data that even standard definition television video is
causing every second and that needs to be written away. An internal
harddrive can easily cope with that amount of data, but a network
drive may easily be struggling.
