The Following script is found in Geniecommands and on the website.
This script works like a macro and uses apple UI to tell EyeTV to rotate through the available aspect ratios. As there is no command to find out what aspect ratio the machine is in, each time this script changes the aspect ratio it writes that data to “int.txt”, which is read each time this script runs. This is then interfaced to a remote control button using Keyspan or Sailing Clicker.
