"What's more, Web apps have access to TV-out on your iPhone. So as an added benefit of Live3G, you can watch live and recorded TV on a television or projector by connecting your iPhone with a compatible cable," they added.

The EyeTV app is still available, as it provides access to the EyeTV program guide and recording schedules, and allows the user to start a recording immediately. But it doesn't support TV-out.

If you don't use an iPhone, EyeTV 3.3 delivers other new features and improvements.

On older Macs that are too slow to keep up with HD TV, the new Drop Field interlacing option gives better results.

H.264 decoding has been improved on 64-bit Intel CPUs through the use of 64-bit code. Elgato claims this improves playback performance by 10 to 20%.

A bunch of bug fixes provides improved general performance and stability, along with specific fixes for issues involving multiple tuners, digital audio output, non-Admin accounts, the new silver Apple Remote, and audio synchronisation via Airfoil, plus new or improved support for certain tuners.

Existing copies of EyeTV can be updated via the Check for Updates command.
