)Yes it is strange, but not too surprising; the same thing happened with NetShare. In this case it makes more sense for them to put it back though, since it will soon be replaced with an update that "fixes" the problem Apple/AT&T has with it.
Maybe I don't know enough about the details, but wouldn't it be possible for Apple to keep a detailed list of what's allowed or not on each of the cellphone network in the world, so that developers can enable/disable features based on the cellphone network they're connected to?
But not if the device is currently connected via wi-fi, of course.

Why ?
Simple
AT&T's pathetic network cannot handle it, nothing more than that.
AT&T network = poor 3G

Strange. It's back on the US app store.
Wonder if that was a mistake. Version number is the same, can anyone confirm the easter egg is still there?
Maybe Apple is giving us one last chance to buy it? They did the same thing with NetShare when it was pulled. In the next day or two, it reappeared for a couple hours, so those paying close attention to it could buy it, before it got pulled again.

Yes identical version in every way to the version before it was pulled. The TotalApps article has a statement from Elgato. I think everyone is baffled.
Welcome, Apple, to the world of net neutrality, FCC oversight, intense Congressional interest, and the highly fickle users of the mobile phone world.
I'd hate to be an Apple lawyer these days. Every which way they go is fraught with minefields. Pull this app, don't pull that app, put that one back.

Thanks again for your reports. I've updated my (German-language) blog posting (three times on that topic) and quoted some of your statements there—I hope you don't mind.
Ack.
It's just fine that everyone can use and enjoy now that very fine and full featured Elgato hard- and software with Mac and iPhone (and not only those who were lucky enough to buy by time). Here in Europe it's the first time to be able watching live tv on the iPhone via different WiFis or 3G cellular network. BTW we don't have unlimited data plans—mine is limited to 3 GB per month p. e. (never could use that amount because the network quality seems to be at least as weak as in US/AT&T) and there are upgrades for tethering.
I had the opportunity to test some other digital tv systems (Loewe not bad too, Philips/Thomson) and Elgato/Mac is clearly the top notch combination. Without any doubts. I am considering to buy an iMac just for "always-on broadcasting" (as my private live iPhone/iPod EyeTV server) and handling all the home media.
I am glad to find your site - now I know what a good one looks like.
Very good topic to share with us. Great info.

Wait! This may be worth a class action lawsuit, against Apple, for selling the App and then deleting it. Any lawyers out there? I'm sure the press would like to know about this!
Didn't Steve Jobs get his start "cracking" AT&T to place calls across the world to call one phone booth near him by using a "cracked" pay phone? So we pay for EYETV, we pay for cable TV, the iPhone, unlimited data, a mac to run all this stuff, and after the fact we can't use our paid technology to do as we want? This EYETV thing was my 2nd favorite app on the phone. Even used more than the phone! This is ridiculous!

Those of us who got in just have to keep the IPA around. Everyone else, no harm no foul.
I wonder if Apple's fear of bad publicity is the reason why they've reinstated EyeTV (however, it may be too late). Also, by removing the app they've made everyone aware that the next version will disable this feature so they've made a bad situation (for them) even worse. It would have been far better if Apple had done nothing until the "fixed" v1.0.1 version was available.
I will not update to 1.0.1 or any other new version until the fabulous live tv 3G streaming is supported officially. The app is working fine so far.
It's the third app that won't be updated what is a bit circumstantial because I can't use the iTunes option "Load all free updates."
1.0.1 is up in the UK. 3G streaming removed.
It has had a one star review in the App Store for me. I suggest others do the same.
The rest of the app lacks major features and is cluttered (not reposting most of the comments other have made), so 1 star is fair IMHO.

Rights Issues was mentioned and I can't see where it has anything to do with that. Otherwise Slingmedia would be shut down. MANY other phones on ATT CAN Sling and nothing is said at all. Blackbery Bold does a fine job on 3g with Sling and it is directly off my DirectTv connection. My jailbroken iPhone 3g does a fair stuttering job watching DirectTv but is smooth over WiFi. So I can't see it as a Rights retransmission anything. They didn't copy it and show it at a later date.

I have 1.01 and for a mere $2.99 more I have live streaming over 3G! I have a jailbroken iPhone so I just bought 3G Unrestrictor and Shazaam...EyeTV live streaming over 3G.
That's what I use too, works great. Good to know that it still works that way.
Its nonsense and an infringement of rights actually. They did not make the app, the phone or anything but determine what can be used on it. Go figure.
Think about that though. A cell phone provider should just do what it's supposed to do. They shouldn't be able to ban anything that a phone was made to do. Not to mention they charge crazy prices, but for what when everything is banned or controlled? It's ruining the purpose of the phone. Apple needs to leave At&t, not waste time monitoring.
