Elgato EyeTV Mobile, TV Tuner for iPad & iPhone (Lightning Connector), black

I have read some reviews of a similar Elgato eyeTV product that weren't favourable, but decided to chance it after reading some better ones.In fact, this is a superb product. If you want Freeview on your iPad 4 (with Lightning connector) this is the way to get it.Picture quality is excellent, and when the aerial is pointing in the right direction, the picture is fluid without any breakup.I live in an area that gets all Freeview channels, and that is what I got.The autotune was flawless, and the Electronic Programme Guide is superb - better than any other I have seen.You can easily flip up and down the list of channels, or the EPG, as easily as any other app on the iPad.The device itself is nicely made and very small, but even with the provided aerials, the picture quality is all you need.No extra fees to pay for Freeview - and perfect TV recording too.It offers an intuitive interface. Perfect in my view.One tip - it does tell you to fully charge it using the supplied USB cable before connecting it to the iPad for the first time, which I did.If you want Freeview on your iPad 4, iPad Air, iPhone 5 + or iPad Mini...this is a recommended way to get it.You can probably tell I like it. You will too!

So bought this from an Amazon retailer in June for use as a TV Tuner on my Ipad pro for use in my camper. Worked brilliantly, connected to the van TV aerial, in fact superb. So what went wrong? Ios 11, did my update to get all the new Ipad security features, tried the EyeTV, the Ipad wouldn't recognise the device. Contacted the supplier who advised its not their issue but the manufacturer so logged a ticket with them some weeks ago, the response has been that they are working on it, I regularly ask for an update to be told that they are still working on it and cant even give me a schedule for the fix. So my advice, do not buy because it will not work on Ios 11 devices and further, my view is that the manufacturer doesn't care!

The first complaint is that it does not work with iOS 11 devices. It was very disappointing to realize that because I like to keep my devices updated and Now I can't have it working anymore. I even contacted Geniatech to know and searched the internet for solutions but found only other costumers in the same situation. It's a shame for the manufacturer.

This is a fabulous device. I have had a number of elgato's products in the past; starting with the simple aerial eyeTV unit and ending with a 4 channel satellite decoder but there has always been a weak point; the WiFi connection to the device in question.As I tend to use my iPad to catch up with the news while cooking and using the WiFi, the reception is glitchy and sometimes quite annoying.Also, for some strange reason, neither of my unit seem to detect the most basic 5 channels! Never been able to work out why, especially as there is no trouble with any of the other devices - TV, TiVo etc.Anyway, as I can actually see the Sandy transmitter mast out of the kitchen window, reception is exceptional here so I thought I would give this little device a go.Of course, without looking at the instructions, I plugged the device into my iPhone and it demanded I downloaded the ap, which I did. After a 20 second scan, I could access 120 channels without glitches or hiccups. Excellent response and great clarity, surprising from such a small aerial. Of course, I do get excellent reception here, I don't really need to plug in an aerial to the TV, the signal is that strong! But given that, this little device works well, is simple to setup and in my book, worth every penny.

The device will not work with the latest iOS and it looks like they are not willing to update the code. Fortunately I could get it working on an older iPad I had knocking about that was running an older version of iOS and from that it worked well. It would be nice if a) the manufacturer would actually update the software to work with the latest iOS or b) stop selling the device as it is useless for current Apple product users.

Works very well, plug and play. Perfect when connected to proper aerial in kitchen. Software is good and easy to use. Battery is ok, not spectacular. Annoying that I have to charge ipad and this to watch a bit of tv, but good portable solution otherwise. Little bit expensive.

I had some issues making a connection on my iPad and iPhone with the wifi version of a similar product by this company, but this one works without a problem. You do have to unplug and replug it each time you fire the software up if you leave it in, but that's not a major problem. Picks up the channels on both aerials and it does depend on where you are and signal strength of that area as to how many channels you can pick up, but that would be expected. Streams well and software works without a problem.I would have preferred the wifi version and you cannot charge the iPad or iPhone when using as the connector is in use, and this only charges the device when plugged into power not the unit playing the picture. The other advantage of the wifi one is that you can place it in a better position to pick up channels, although with the longer aerial supplied this is kind of resolved, it's just not wire free which I would prefer. The one advantage with this one over the wifi is that you can stay connected to the Internet while using the software, whereas the wifi one will overtake that connection.In summary, it's not cheap and there some others similar products on the market, but it does a good job of what it does. Just bare in mind that you will need to retune each time you move to a different area of the country.UPDATEDevice no longer working due to IOS 11 release. I would not recommend buying this until app has been fixed.

Leider unterstützt das Produkt kein DVB-T2.Ist also in ein oder zwei Jahren nutzlos bei DVB-T Abschaltung. Also nur bedingt empfehlenswert.

Bon produit pour camping-car avec tablette iPad petite TV mais très visible à 1m50 efficace à 80 % des cas avec l'antenne ext

Musste leider das Gerät zurücksenden, da es nicht mit iOS 11 kompatibel ist. Trotz versuchen an mehreren Geräten (iPhone / iPad) hat es nicht funktioniert.Eye TV Mobile hat das letzte Update vor 2 Jahren herausgebracht.

Payé 94€ pour un anniversaire. Le produit est NUL. Cela ne vient pas de l'application mais bin du produit en lui-même :- L'antenne, que vous utilisiez la petite ou la grande déportée, ne capte RIEN. Absolument RIEN. Et dans ce cas ne croyez pas les pubs mensongères du fabricant, vous ne pourrez pas regarder la télé au bar du coin puisque à 20 KMS de paris je ne capte pas. En intérieur comme en extérieur. Super (je ne suis pas le seul regardez sur internet).- Du coup je suis obligé de brancher le récepteur à une prise TV murale et la ça marche nickel rien à redire, l'application est fonctionnelle et sans bug.Du coup si vous avez une prise murale ok mais bon 100€ l'adaptateur ça fait mal... Ah j'oubliais. Les chaînes HD ne fonctionne PAS dessus.Je ne recommande pas. Pas DU TOUT.

Cet appareil peut vous servir partout, c'est un véritable téléviseur minuscule mais très performant, car les images sont belles, je l'utilise souvent au dehors.
