Live TV on your iPad, Android, Mac & PC

A superb all-round DTT (Freeview) TV receiver, Elgato’s Tivizen is a mobile TV tuner that transmits the television signal wirelessly to your iPad, Android device or computer. Weighing only 68 grams (2.5 ounces), Tivizen is about the size of a mobile phone and slips easily into your pocket.

How it works

The Tivizen mobile TV receiver has a small, extendable and extremely robust aerial that receives a DVB-T (Freeview, or DTT) signal. Tivizen transmits that TV signal over to your iPad, iPhone, Android device or computer by creating its own Wi-Fi hotspot. It sets up its own Wi-Fi hotspot and you do not need an internet connection to use it.

Engineered by the TV software experts

Elgato’s Tivizen is a sophisticated piece of hardware, but the real craftsmanship comes alive in the software. Tivizen comes with remarkable software to bring you television the way you want it: The amazing Tivizen app for your iPad, iPhone or Android device, award-winning EyeTV software for your Mac, and THC software for Windows.
