EyeTV for iPhone Now Works over 3G

Posted on 16 December 2009 by LarryGreenberg

Elagato Software, makers of EyeTV, the software which allows for streaming of your home TV over you iPhone, have released a substantial update to their desktop client.

The most important feature to iPhone users allows for the viewing of live and recorded television over a 3G connection. Previously EyeTV, and all the other live TV streaming applications (HAVA, Slingbox, etc.) only worked over a WiFi connection.

The method for watching live TV over 3G involves using Safari to navigate to a special web site, https://live3g.eyetv.com/, where you then enter your EyeTV log in credentials. Then in a few short moments your TV appears.

I just tested it all out and it worked exactly as described!

As an added bonus, web apps allow for the use of the iPhone’s video out capabilities. This means you’ll be able to hook up your iPhone to a monitor or TV and view your own programming on the go, over 3G.

I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.

How's the quality, Larry? Because I don't know about you, but every time I try to use the iPhone YouTube app, I'm very disappointed–the image is almost always blurry or pixilated or in some other way worse quality than watching it on my laptop over the same WiFi signal.

Out of the three streaming TV apps I've tried, Slinbox, EyeTV and HAVA, it's probably the best quality wise.

Worth the $5, do you think?

For the app? It's a no brainer if you have the EyeTV hardware.
