Simplified Set-Up with My EyeTV
On your local Wi-Fi network no configuration is needed, just enable access from EyeTV for iPhone/iPad in EyeTV’s Preferences window. Fully automatic configuration isn’t always possible outside of your local network, please see www.elgato.com/iphonehelp for details. EyeTV uses port 2170.
If you are using the Mac OS X firewall, be sure to allow connections from both EyeTV and EyeConnect. If that doesn’t allow you to connect, try disabling the firewall temporarily.
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 and iPad. Elgato’s Live3G web app runs in the Safari browser on your iPhone 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.
HTTP Live Streaming
The EyeTV software running on your Mac converts live TV to the correct format for streaming to the iPhone and iPad, ensuring optimal picture quality.
EyeTV software and both apps use the HTTP streaming standard developed by Apple. This takes advantage of the iPhone’s and iPad's hardware acceleration to deliver the highest possible playback quality and longer battery life.
Reviews
"EyeTV made it incredibly simple to watch and record on my Mac, and to send that content to my iPhone when I'm not near the office."
"Elgato’s name brings with it some expectations, and the app meets or exceeds nearly all of them. There’s no question about it, if you have EyeTV on your Mac, then you absolutely need EyeTV for your iPhone. Who needs a Slingbox?"
People pay good money for a Slingbox, a piece of dedicated hardware that sits at home and lets you stream TV over the internet to a computer or smartphone. Now, you can use your Mac to do the same thing with the Elgato EyeTV iPhone app.
The EyeTV App is a brilliant solution that has clearly been well thought out and designed. It isn’t just another remote control or remote player it is the perfect EyeTV companion. The ability to schedule recordings even when you are miles from your computer is an unexpected bonus to an already brilliant mobile application.
In the “About” section of the mobile app Elgato have inserted the slogan “Turn your Mac into the coolest television in the house.” Well with EyeTV app you can now add the iPhone to that sentence, I love it.
The look and feel of the iPhone app is first-rate, with white text on a black background, and with subtle color queues throughout. It's a joy to use... I'm delighted with the possibilities here. If I'm traveling, my iPhone will provide full access to my TV-on-Mac setup at home.
