Dyle is making it possible towatch alive television on your iPad or iPhonefor free ( sort of ) with EyeTV . That ’s the honorable news . The bad news is it sounds like a pretty crappy way to do something that other citizenry make easy .
EyeTV , a service that work on in 35 cities , is a freeiOS app . But you have to buy $ 100 arranger in edict for it to actually work . You do n’t involve a cable subscription or a Wi - Fi or data connectedness , so you’re able to see television receiver until your eyes fall out of their sockets . But content is pretty limited — you mostly get what ’s on NBC and Fox , as well as a smattering of other stations . Calling all American Idol fanatics ! But disconsolate , no recording or DVR capability , so you have to learn your programme in real time . Also , due to a rights disagreement , you wo n’t catch any NFL secret plan . And plainly , the picture timbre is pretty spoilt — several rungs below HD , consort toAllThingsD.
In this case , if you have cablegram , you ’re pretty much better off spending a little more money and set about a Slingbox , although you need to be on data point or Wi - Fi to watch shows on your phone . Or just expect . Because EyeTV does at least sound promising , and perhaps the next iteration — or the next next iteration — will be better . [ ElgatoviaAllThingsD ]
