EyeTV mobile is an easy-to-use TV tuner for live, mobile television anywhere and everywhere. Simply download the free app available in the App Store and connect the small DTT TV turner to the dock connector port. You then have access to live channels and movies- No Internet Connection Needed! Distractions? No problem. Pause the movie or TV show and rewind back to the part you missed. The device also features web surfing and teletext which is available for iPad 2 & 3.  The integrated EPG offers you detailed information on TV shows up to seven days in advance (where available).
