Eye TV On the iPhone - Wow-zers!!

yeah its really good
roxio toast 9 also has a streamer app, that lets you stream ANY video file (including eyeTV) to the iphone!
its really good quality as well

 

Does this work using iTunes to put stuff on the iPhone or do you stream stuff using some sort of web interface?

Cheers

 

Wow, is it just me or does your comment read like a commercial for EyeTV? Do you work directly for EyeTV, or for a marketing firm they hired?

 

I tried this feature for a bit and found it quite amazing, but also useless now. The BBC iPlayer pretty much made me turn the auto iPhone streaming feature since encoding is 1:1 with the shows time (on my 2.2ghz C2D) compared to no waiting for the iPlayer.

Some kind of remote slingbox style functionality would be nice. What with remote recording and then wifi watching. Could be a very good feature for travellers.

 

I can't believe I didn't know about this, haha. Awesome! Now I'm wondering if a quick port forwarding on my AEBS would allow me to hit this from the outside.. I think I'll try it out!

 

It works!!! Fricken' sweet! Now I can record stuff and watch it anywhere there's WiFi!

 

Either!
You can export to iTunes which requires a sync of TV Shows. Or you can "Share" in the EyeTV preferences to access the shows on you wifi via a stream.

The EyeTV Sharing tab shows the address to point your iPhone to. Just remember it may say something like http://iMac.local.com:2170/eyetv, but you'll need to know your mac's IP address and use it with the port number. Like: http://192.168.1.2:2170/eyetv.

Also sounds like other people have got it to work remotely by VPN'ing into their network.

 

service type to use in airport extreme/TC?

I'm trying to view eyeTV outside of my network - Does anyone know which "service type" should I select in the Port Mapping screen of my Time Capsule to make this work. Thanks in advance.

 

Best iPhone app, good thing I returned my slingplayer ...... can't wait to use iTablet as a $599 kitchen TV

 

If your ISP uses dynamic IP it won't work for long, download dyndns's mac app for a "domain name" http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/mac.html

 

Does Eye TV record HD programming?

 

Does it ever. Best (only?) Mac based tuner/recorder out there.

 

okay what kind of tv tuner do you guys have for this? ive checked it out..looks good..but i dont see myself hooking up a tv cable to a usb thing and plugging into my macbook everytime..seems cumbersome, no?

 

I just got the app. It works great. As for tuners, I think one of the best is the HDHomeRun. It is a dual hd tuner that works over ethernet so you can put it where your antenna / cable is, even if it is in another room.

I just installed the eyeTv software on my new mini so it would be dedicated instead of on my macbook pro. The tuners are in my garage but with a click of a few buttons eyetv was configured to access and record from them over the network. I also have a Hybrid I might plug in and use the svideo to record from my dishnetwork box. All I need is an irblaster.

 

I have an eyetv hybrid, but it doesn't work with FiOS (switched from comcast because it ended up being cheaper after the comcast promotion ended) - which is really too bad because I'm definitely jealous of this app. Eyetv is awesome.
