Try before you buy: free Web App
Live3G is a stripped-down version of the EyeTV app which enables you to stream live television over a 3G connection to an iPhone or iPad. Elgato’s Live3G web app runs in the Safari browser on your iPhone or iPad so you can watch live TV and EyeTV recordings anywhere. It’s free, and it’s a good way to test your router’s compatibility before buying the EyeTV app.
The free Live3G web app is available at https://live3g.eyetv.com.
(My thoughts on the iOS Experience) - Video Out Support!
The Hardware
EyeTV HD
EyeTV HD has a unique dual-format capture mode that enables you to record in the iPad and iPhone formats at the same time. This enables super-fast exports to iTunes from EyeTV.
Fast Setup! (Impressed Here)
USB, Component, IR Blaster
Comes with all the cables and a remote with a battery!
System Requirements (I'm pushing it with a 2GHz Mac mini)
Macintosh: Intel Core® 2 Duo 2.26 GHz or higher CPU, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later. We recommend Mac OS X 10.6.2 or later with all software and security updates installed.
2 GB RAM, built-in USB 2.0 port
Cable or satellite receiver with analog video and audio outputs (component output required for HD)
Internet connection required to download Program Guide data.
