Abstract: However, when Apple changed its 30-pin connector in September 2012 for the minuscule Lightning connector – first seen on the iPhone 5, now on the whole iPhone and iPad range – Elgato, along with many other accessory companies, was presented with an engine...
The EyeTV is a handy piece of kit for TV fans. Plugged into an iPad 4 or an iPad mini, it makes for a great portable Freeview-style TV platform.Battery life is reduced significantly when using the unit, so you will need to keep tablets charged up. The iPh...
Abstract: The last one makes me think that what would be really cool is an app to steer you round every branch of Waitrose, constantly updating users on the latest hidey-hole they've found for tricky items such as Marmite and, always an enigma, eggs. One of the mo...
The Elgato EyeTV Mobile brings Dyle Mobile TV to Apple iDevices, but it features the older 30-pin connector and Dyle's content offering still leave a lot to be desired....

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
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
