Any updated on this? Have they improved the quality? Is it still a good option over the pricey option of buying a new Solo Slingbox and paying $30 for the Slingbox app?

From my research, the EyeTV cannot be beat for all it does. I like when nature calls and I am in the middle of a race or game on TV, I can go to my iPad and not lose a minute. Or I can use the app to record a show on my computer while not leaving my living room. And if nothing else, it makes a good PiP alternative.

Just beware when using 3G

I have a data plan on my iPhone which is limited. How much data will WinTV Extend use? - well I read the answer to this on their hauppauge web site and it said 450mb for 10 hrs (45mb per hr) so I used it for a total of just 6 hrs knowing that should be under my plan allowance (400mb) - but I just got a bill for $ 620.00 from my 3G provider it uses 275mb per hr - not 45mb (275 @ $0.50c per mb ( charged when I go over my plan ) =$137.00 per hr- so not good to use on 3G network unless you have a massive plan I am now having to pay off my bill and have not heard back from *hauppauge about the answer on their web site - I can only hope that others will see this post before trying it like I did*- I now only use it over wifi - I learnt the hard way and wont use it over 3G again ( which by the way was the main reason I wanted it

I have a 950Q but I think a better solution is getting a Vulkano Flow for $89 and the Vulkano app for $12.99. The picture is near HD quality and full screen. The only drawback is you can only watch the TV channel that the Flow is showing.

I will continue to use the 950Q during football season when I want to watch another event while watching the Pats!

Hi
I have just purchased an eyetv mobile device, but I cannot get reception. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can boost the signal? change antennas? Thanks, Sue

By the way I am interested in not over the internet - data charges - the eyetv is a "set top box on the go" and why pay data when its free?

I have the Hauppauge card and use the Splashtop app with the ipad. Works great. Then i also use my Apple tv to send it wireless to my HD tv.
