We were recently looking for a gadget that would allow us to watch TV on our Tesco Hudl (a popular low-cost Android tablet) while we were on the move, and also at home and on a boat. You can move the computer (with dongle attached) around a bit in the hope of finding a slightly better signal, but even with a separate rod antenna on a bit of wire you're still pretty restricted to the area where it's convenient to position your computer. We had heard from reviews that a frequent problem with many of these TV dongles is that they can struggle in areas that have a less than strong TV signal.

The dongle usually comes with software to install on your computer that communicates with the dongle and displays the TV programmes on screen. Some of the more recent models also work on iPads, iPhones and Android phones and tablets. Depending on the model, the external antenna might be a rotatable telescopic type that is permanently fixed to it or it may have a socket that can be connected to a rod antenna on the end of a length of wire that allows you to move the antenna around a little to find the best signal or for the best signal it may even have a socket that can be connected via a coaxial cable to a rooftop antenna. Most of these are small “dongles” that plug into the computer's USB socket (or dock connector on a Mac) and have a built-in or external antenna/aerial to pick up terrestrial DTT/Freeview TV.

Gadgets that let you watch terrestrial DTT/Freeview TV on your PC or Mac while you're on the move have been around for several years, and are available from several suppliers such as Hauppauge and Elgato.

Not much has changed, so we have added an update section near the end of the reviewĬovering the changes in the new version 2 app. UPDATE June 2014: Since the first part of this review was written, Elgato have released version 2 of theirĪndroid app. (We also gave it a quick try on the Sony Xperia Z1 smartphone - see the Conclusion for comments on the Z1.) This is an exhaustive review after more than 300 hours of use. Here we tried it out on the “Tesco Hudl”, a popular inexpensive Android tablet in the UK. This is the most in-depth review of the “Elgato EyeTV W” that provides mobile TV over Wi-Fi on iPhone, iPad and Android tablets and phones. This time everything worked.Review of the Elgato EyeTV W mobile TV unit on an Android Tablet The only way I could avoid this was to disable the passcode option altogether-and try to connect again. In what appears to be a bug, I remained stuck at the final “Connecting to” stage. However, ultimate success remained elusive. The required name is “EyeTV.”Īfter entering the correct name and passcode, I successfully navigated past the Secure Log In. It was this passcode that the Secure Log In screen was requesting. It includes an option to “Require a passcode.” As it turned out, I had enabled this option back when I first set up the separate EyeTV iPhone app. They had the (as yet undocumented) answer:īack at EyeTV’s iPhone Preferences screen, there is a “More Options” button at the bottom. I contacted Elgato Technical Support for help. Instead, I was unexpectedly presented with a second Secure Website Log In screen, requesting yet another name and password. If all goes well, you at last connect and can stream video from the EyeTV application on your Mac.

Here is where you enter the address and password of your EyeTV account. The initial screen asks for an e-mail address and password. To create an account, click the Change button in the iPhone Preferences window and then click “Create Account.” (Note: you may have already created an account via EyeTV Setup Assistant.) When done, a confirmation that the account is “Working properly” should appear in the EyeTV iPhone Preferences window.Īt this point, you are ready to give EyeTV Live 3G a try. For the latter option, you will also need an EyeTV account. From the iPhone section of EyeTV’s Preferences (pictured below), the checkboxes for both the “Enable access from EyeTV for iPhone” and “Use My EyeTV” options should be enabled.From the Sharing section of EyeTV’s Preferences, “Share my EyeTV Archive” must be enabled.The Mac’s firewall must either be off or set to include EyeTV as an allowed application (as described in this Elgato support document).Fortunately, all recent versions of AirPort Extreme Base Station and AirPort Express meet this requirement. Your Mac must be connected to a router that supports NAT-PMP or UPnP (as explained here).Update to the latest 3.3 (or later) version.
