I've just become the proud owner of an Elgato EyeTV DVB-TV tuner.
I've been looking for a DVB-T tuner that works on a tablet for ages, tried to get one working on my Advent vega, wrecked my linux install on my laptop trying to generate the necessary files, so gave up on that one. Tried to get a tuner for my Sony Tablet S that was promoted in Japan for that tablet, I could'nt source one - very frustrating hunt.
Then I saw a post on here that mentioned the Elgato - did a search on Amazon and ordered it immediately, 4 days later I was watching tv on my Nexus 10 (also my Nexus 7 and my Note 2 - so a 3 way win for me).
The dongle is absolutely tiny, just a bit larger than a postage stamp and plugs in directly to the USB port on the N10.
It comes with a telescopic aerial which gets me all the freeview channels, even in the middle of my living room which is way better then my 7" portable that does not get any channels anywhere in my house !
For situations that require it there is also a cabled magmount aerial included, I've not needed this yet, but tried it in my house and got the same result as with the telescopic.
It also comes with an adapter that allows use with a laptop/PC/Mac so I suppose that makes it a 4 way win for me really.
The software is downloaded as an APK from the market for the Android devices, and is downloaded from Elgato's website for PC/Mac use.
The APK installed painlessly and when fired up, tuned in all the Freeview stations without any problems. Although the software is pretty basic, it does what's needed very well and I can't complain at all.
All in all a very pleasant experience, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this little beauty to anyone wanting TV on the go.
Nice find, been wanting something like this for ages. Can you please post a link to the exact item on amazon and also the play store software?

I couldn't find the device on the US store, so here's the UK store link so you can have a look at the device. If you are able to find one, make sure it's the "micro" version with a micro usb, there is an Apple version that looks identical except for the iPod type connector.
I forgot to mention in my original post that this device is only slightly larger than a postage stamp, tiny and very light.

You did not find it in the US store because it will not work in the US it only works in Europe and some other countries. Check the Elgato web site for specifics.

Apparently this new service is coming out in two weeks or so for the LG Vu and Samsung Access. Not sure what OSes they use, but what chance do you think we have of seeing it on the Tilt? I know there's the driver issues, plus I'm not even sure the Tilt has the hardware... apparently this is some separate network...?
Someone smarter than me should look into this.
PS - Just curious, as I can't see myself paying more for TV - Comcast already drains me...

from my recollection that LG VU, from when I saw it at the CES show in Las Vegas earlier this year, uses Windows Mobile.
when i bought my tilt from at&t it already had something similar to it, i never used it cause i can't stand the 13" tv at my house so watching on a phone seemed pointless. so i deleted the program and flashed a new ROM and now i have games rather than tv. if someone wanted to give me satellite or cable on my phone and i could watch my shows while i'm at work, then it would be a great program. 9 channels for $30 a month is as bad as cable, overpriced and no features

Hm... just tried MobiTV for the first time. Video is very stop and go, but it's kinda neat - and I can listen, if nothing else. It's only $10/month.
But since we don't want to pay for more TV access, I think Slingbox or a similar technology is our only hope.
That, and HTC drivers...
Am I the only one getting frustrated by the overwhelming trend of lazy journalism in the tech world right now? Almost all articles on a given subject are a copy of a copy, and no one is making an effort to dig deeper. Is there any tech journalists out there actually challenging themselves right now?
Nexus 7 case in point:
- How many journalists have their hands on a unit right now, and not one of them can bother to answer the question whether it support MHL and they can achieve a HDMI connection?
- Verge posts pictures of a unit with an apparent HDMI output, and make no acknowledgement of it. Leave readers confused and seemingly don't bother to follow up
- Almost zero mention of the Memo 370T in all this. A unit that was announced for the same price, plus microsd, hdmi, and 8mp camera!
- Anyone contacting Asus to ask if the 370T will still be released? Should we hold off on the Nexus 7?
These all seem pretty obvious things to me if I was a tech journalist. Anyone have any contacts at engadget, verge, gizmodo to ask them wtf?
I completely agree. Some sites are saying that there is a micro-HDMI output on the 7. Other sites are saying there’s a mini-HDMI output while most sites are reporting that there is no HDMI output at all. Sites like Engadget are saying you can use an MHL adapter while other sites say it’s not compatible.
I mean, REALLY?? You would think these so-called tech sites would be more interested in this stuff than the common reader/user and would be all over these topics but apparently that’s not the case and it’s making me withhold judgment about buying this tablet or not.
Agreed. You can't tell me that out of all of the (hundreds) of tech journalists who currently have this tablet in their hands that not one of them has an MHL adapter. Two pictures of the MHL adapter working would clarify a ton for everyone. Also, there are rumors that the 16gb might be the model with the Mini-HDMI out but no one seems to be able to see if this is true.
My 2 cents: Why doesn't Google just release a complete spec sheet to the developers and press at I/O 12? It's frustrating that tech companies hold back all of these small details all of the time when we will get this information eventually. Why not just appease the consumers and press by letting us know what to expect and how it works at release?
While I totally agree with the OP, most of what we saw so far have been quick previews. The full reviews are just starting to roll out, from Engadget for example. All the tech journalist and websites rush to get out something to beat the competition.
Hopefully we'll get an concret answer on the HDMI support soon. My assumption and hope is that there is a mini HDMI out on the 16GB. This would give an extra incentive to plop down the 50 bucks more.
I agree, not just for the Nexus 7 but all tech reports are pretty lazy.
The only thing worse than the tech articles are the comments that usually follow them. So many ill-informed people, it's almost laughable.
I'm in no way defending the practice, but they could be embargoed. Also judging from the short manufacturing timelines maybe a real production device doesn't yet exist?
If there are more than a very tiny handful of people actually using HDMI on tablets and phones I haven't seen any hint of it. I hang out with a bunch of gadget nerds with Android phones and tablets and have seen HDMI used exactly once, just to see how it worked.
Whining about horrible tech coverage because they aren't addressing your specific question is asinine. There was a huge flood of information from Google this week (and it's still coming!) and the tech sites are reporting on what Google said and moving on to the next announcement. Deal with it.
If you think that's bad, check out this article:
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and...s-In-Danger-of-Failure-10-Reasons-Why-573051/
Hands down the worst example of journalism, if you could call it that, i've ever seen. Even the iFans were incredulous.
I write for KitGuru and AMNZ focussing on mobile stuff (links in sig) and I tend to have to agree. There is this one website here in NZ whose mobile content is just as bad as the link alan posted
I've tried getting information out of Asus before but as soon as the Memo was mentioned it went all hush. Am going to ring them up tomorrow to try and find something out about a New Zealand (outside of Play store launch countries) retail Nexus 7 launch so may as well ask about the Memo as well
Yeah, most news outlets (tech or otherwise) just rush stuff out to get the page views.
Now I understand that, but follow up later a little more in depth and especially fix mistakes. Case in point, Engadget reviewed the Excite 7.7 saying it was able to do video out. I bought the Excite 7.7, and it can't. Returned it and ate a restocking fee.
Worst part? I e-mailed them and the review STILL has the incorrect information.

It's called CHURNALISM
I can assure you that there is no HDMI over and MHL. I was at the conference and had a chance to ask Hugo Barra that exact question. It appears as though they left out that functionality to cut costs. He also said the Nexus 7 was meant to be a portable device, not for plugging into a TV.
It definitely felt like they simply want customers to go buy the Nexus Q to get content onto a TV.

Agree with all points, but guessing the 370T may not see the light of day, at least in countries that sell the N7. This is a gimped version, courtesy of Google's desire to corral people into their cloud channels.

Does anyone have or have used one of the Google Tv boxes? I know they have one with Blu-Ray and one without. I really been wanting to get one but am trying to hold out until Sony drops the new NSZ-GP9 Blu-Ray Google Tv (This month I hope) But anyway I'm just trying to get some peoples thoughts on Sony Google Tv before I go out and drop $299 on it, is it worth it?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I bought the Logitech Revue right when it came out and returned it after a couple weeks. Kevin Bacon must have a lot of patience because it was SLOW. I think they dropped it down to $99 if you can still find one. I think that device tanked. My buddy has (one of?) the Sony BD Gtv boxes, but I've never used it. I'll ask him if he still has it and what he thinks about it.
Awesome thank you please do. Like I said there's two out right now one with Blu ray and one without, and then sometime this month they have a new one coming out with Blu ray and that's the 1 I'm looking into getting, but I'm still looking for user experiences with the past 2 Sony ones.

This thread was hard to find again, it got buried quick. I finally spoke with my buddy who has the old Sony BD Gtv.. I asked him if he would recommend it and he said he absolutely would, he's been very happy with it. He said he would buy it again. Hope that helps.
I love my GTV!!!!!
Hey guys!
I purchased the Sony stand-alone/bluray unit a little over one month after it came out. At first yes, the unit was slow and the browser was awful. But now after one major update (honeycombe) and a couple of extra security updates, it is the best unit I've ever had for my TV!
Only downside is not having DVR capability and (if you hitch for it, which I don't...) not being able to view Hulu directly from the browser. The "agent hack" doesn't work anymore, so you have to purchase montly and use Hulu+.....but it interfaces with my Comcast HD box (via HDMI) FAWLESSLY! the sony remote controls everything: TV, cable box and obviously the GTV
I love the search capabilities of the unit giving live TV + web, amazon and netlix results for things you search. Full Playstore access, widgets...I can't say enough fantastic things about it!
Fanboy? maybe a little
Hi,
I just wanted to ask this question. I searched the forum and could not get the answer I was looking for. Maybe it was asked , sorry if this is a repeat question.
The thing is, I want to get the Sony Bluray GTV1. I live outside the USA and I was wondering if, with the help of StrongVPN, use the GTV to the fullest in my country. We don't have the same cable providers as the US, but we do have digital cable. My theory is that if I connect my digital cable settop box to the GTV and use StrongVPN I will be able to get it to work. My biggest doubt is if the Search app will work with live tv content. Does GTV pulls data from the cable settop and parses it to show it on search results? Or does it rely on the location (ZIP code) and cable provided to pull the data from somewhere else?
How would I be able to configure a location during setup if I'm not in the US? I have a good idea where my cable provider pulls its feed, since NBC shows Fort Lauderdale local news i'd say its located there, however, not all channels come from the US, we also have south american channels and such. Will those show up on Search results?
Also, my cable provider gives me a DVR capable settop box, would that also work with GTV's DVR features and Pay-Per-View content?
Please help.
If I cannot get Search to pull results from my listings at my cable provider then its a deal breaker for me. I live in Costa Rica and my provider is CableTica.
Thanks.

I ended uo getting the newest one, the one without the Blu Ray player and I absolutely love it. I was trying to hold out for the new one with Blu Ray. It was set to be out in October but on the Sony website it still doesn't give an exact date so instead of waiting I purchased this one.

Previously listed at £29.99. Now sold for £12.90.
Code:
[url]http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/xperia-play-experience-pack-xp151/[/url]
Pack includes:
Multi media dock DK300
Pocket Micro USB cable EC300
3,5mm Music Cable MC100
3 free Gameloft games
Granted, the selection of GL games is a bit dated but when I bought one recently, the provided voucher code to claim the games didn't work (other people have had this problem) so I contacted GL support and was told to choose any 3 of the latest games for them to text/email to me. Can't go wrong with that imo :good:
Been this price for sometime, when I clicked on this I thought it was 55% off the £12.90.
>_<
1st...is it worth getting? 2nd....you mean to say that gameloft actually got back to you? Lol, that's a shocker if it was through txet/email....their costumer service sucks, especially with online games (O&C, MC)...mainly I just wanted to see if the dock and extras are worth it.

Yes it will - check your phones box , mine came with one. Any usb car charger will work with the xperia play - as long as it has a micro usb end - I've used a few and they all worked.
EDIT- Also, the dock is and has been cheaper on amazon - so unless you want to pay £3 more for the games - just buy the dock, it includes everything minus the games. The pack is also the same price on amazon.

To answer your 1st question; it is worth it at the reduced price. I needed a dock and its good to have a branded one for the sake of reliability and knowing its safe to use. Last thing I need is another house fire due to dodgy electrics.
One thing I'll warn of is that the included mini usb connector is incredibly small and made practically useless by this fact, though luckily I had some decently sized spares anyway.
Secondly, I'm no great defender of Gameloft, what with there track record of botched updates and poor implementation of games which require tons of unmovable data to be stored on the phone. But in the case of customer support, I can't fault them. I've contacted them 3 times in the past. On one occasion to complain that the update to the Amazing Spiderman broke the game for us XP users, they said that they passed my feedback to the dev team and compensated me with the Dark Knight game. The second time was because I couldn't find a previously purchased game in my account, to this they sent me a permanent link to re-download it when I want. And the third occasion was as described in my original post. In my experience they've always been prompt and courteous. On my part, I've always been sure to explain clearly what my problems are and realistic in what I expect them to do about it.
How's the dock work when there's a case on the phone? I'm using the Trident case and it adds a bit of bulk to the phone.

I also have the Trident case and unfortunately, you have to remove the bottom half of the case (very easy) for it to fit. Little inconvenient to do but not in the slightest bit difficult because of the decent design of the trident case.

Does anybody know if I can plug this into my A/V receiver's HDMI port instead of my TV, would rather hear the sound through my HT speakers and not my TV's..
Would the chromecast then turn on the receiver and switch to the correct input? THAT would be just AWESOME..!
And in general, the auto turn on and switching input is triggered by sending a video/audio from phone/tablet/PC to chromecast?
I just realized, the link here removed that part about being Mediacast compliant. Not sure why Google didn't make it's own device so that the Nexus can stream to TV's like they initially advertised.
Also this thing isn't an Apple TV, which I realized the more I read into this. The content has to be on the cloud, so already uploaded somewhere like on Netflix or Youtube or even your Google Play account in order to work. You can't just take a picture or video or song from your computer/tablet/phone and send it to the TV. It really doesn't do much other than turn your phone into a remote control to play Youtube videos and things like that. Which is also why it can't mirror or anything, since it's not necessarily connected to your phone/tablet, other than that initial request to open a specific URL.

I don't know, still looks like it's simply opening the URL of the website onto the TV. Then again, this is a cut version, I didn't really watch the full version so I'm not sure. I'll check it up in a while and get back to you.
I wonder if this could be ported to a cheap arm board? The Chromecast receiver would rock on a Raspberry Pi.

Best buy on la brea and santa monica. I hate that area... But the best buy in glendale said they didnt have them when i called, so had no choice but to check this one.
Anyway its freaking awesome!! Watching top gear in crystal clear hd playing off google movies/tv. Used my galaxy nexus. Gonna try next with the n7
Edit: apparently it also shows on your lockscreen sort of like how music will show the pause/play options.

Did Youtube and some other Gapps showed the ChromeCast icon when running on your phone?

Yeah youtube, google movies, google music, netflix, and im guessing chrome but i havent tried that yet
I got mine tonight at the El Segundo Best Buy in LA. Picked up the last two (one for a friend). It's taking all my will power to finish the work that I'm doing before I open it up to play. Though I realize now I'm on XDA writing about it so I'm kinda failing ha!

You can't unless you have it stored on the cloud somewhere.
