The Tivit aims to bridge the gap between iPhone and TV. Sure, you can control your TV with your iPhone with the help of some accessories, but what if you just want to watch it? Well, there are a few other apps for that too, but this is the first hardware. And let me tell you, it’s pretty cool. The Tivit is essentially a battery powered WiFi hotspot. It receives digital TV (DTV) signals and makes them available in a format that’s understood by an iPhone app over WiFi.

Elgato’s EyeTV app for iPhone is nearly everything you’d want from a TV app. It shows what you’ve already recorded, it shows you scheduled recordings for the future, it gives you access to the TV Guide data you pay yearly for, it even streams past recordings (provided they’ve been converted for iPhone) over 3G, not just Wifi. And of course, the biggest feature here, it’ll stream live TV over Wifi, not just your home network.
