Elgato EyeTV mobile Review
The good: The Elgato EyeTV Mobile allows iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch models to stream some live TV channels. The viewing app is free, and there are no charges beyond the hardware price (at least through the end of 2013). A limited program guide is available, and viewing can be paused and rewound.
The bad: Most areas will have only a handful of over-the-air channels; newer iPads and iPhones require expensive and cumbersome Lightning adapters; there's no recording capability; and video fidelity is lackluster, especially on the iPad.
The bottom line: The EyeTV Mobile delivers live over-the-air TV to iPads and iPhones, but the extremely limited channel selection is just the first of several reasons it's tough to recommend.
