Watch iPhone Video Over 3G With EyeTV Web App
Posted in: iPhone, Phones, streaming, Today's Chili, video
Elgato has managed to sneakily work its way around Apple’s restriction on streaming video to the iPhone over 3G. It does it using a web app. The native EyeTV iPhone application lets you stream live TV and recorded content from your computer at home over Wi-Fi, and only over Wi-Fi. The new web-app, Live3G, which runs inside the Safari browser, will work anywhere using your iPhone’s data connection.
Simply go to the (secure) URL, enter your username and password and enjoy the show, wherever you may be. The web app lacks many of the features of the native application, so you can’t schedule new recordings or browse the program guide. But because the video is playing inside Safari, there is one big advantage: video out. If you hook your iPhone up to a TV you will be able to watch your streamed video on the big screen — native apps still don’t have access to video-out. This will, of course, also work over Wi-Fi, so you could use your iPhone as a kind of Slingbox without burning your bandwidth.
A smart workaround, and even better, a free one. If you are an EyeTV user, check it out now at https://live3g.eyetv.com. You’ll also need to update the EyeTV software on your computer to the latest version.
