Yesterday many people discovered that the EyeTV application from Elgato
allowed anyone with an EyeTV to stream live television from their Mac to
the iPhone over the AT&T 3G network. Apple later pulled the
application from the App Store, but a new version is already in the
works.
Elgato released a statement early this morning saying, "Some test code that enabled live TV streaming over the cellular network was accidentally left in the the EyeTV App. Apple requested that we remove the code since their agreement with AT&T does not allow redirecting TV signals over the cellular network. The code was removed and a 1.0.1 version of the EyeTV app was submitted. We expect EyeTV to return to the App Store when the 1.0.1 version is approved."
Unfortunately for the people who purchased this application, they are unable to download it again at the present time, but for those that own the 1.0 version, you now have access to live streaming over AT&T's network. However, due to AT&T's stance on live streaming video over the network, we're unsure of what consequences might arise from continued use of this application on their network.
