Elgato launches Android DTT tuner

IFA 2012 – BERLIN. WATCH VIDEO. Elgato is launching a DTT tuner for Android devices to receive live digital television broadcasts.

Until now, such a device was only available for IPad 2 and 3 and iPhones 4S. The ultra-compact TV tuner connects directly to Android devices, without the need for a separate power source.

EyeTV Micro has been tested and confirmed to run on Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy SII, Samsung Galaxy SIII, Samsung Galaxy Note, Asus Nexus 7 and HTC One X.

The company is also launching Elgato’s Tivizen, EyeTV Netstream DTT and EyeTV Netstream Sat, software that turns Android devices into a portable TV.! Watch live over-the-air or satellite TV on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone or Android device with Elgato’s advanced network tuners – without the need for an internet connection.

EyeTV Netstream products connect to a router and send the TV signal through the Ethernet network. If a home has a Wi-Fi network, viewers can watch live TV wirelessly anywhere in the home or garden.
