Elgato has optimized its EyeTV iPhone application to work with the iPad. The app allows users to watch and record live TV via a 3G or WiFi connection. While Eye TV is running on a Mac computer it converts live TV to the correct format for optimal streaming on the iPhone or iPad. Existing owners of the app can simply update their iPhone apps at no charge to add iPad support. For first time users the app costs $4.99, but Elgato also offers Live3G which is a free, stripped-down version of EyeTV for users who want a taste of the app before they purchase the full version.

For starters, it’s a great way to safeguard your user data when you’re surfing the internet. Because VPNs switch you to a different network and IP address, they’re terrific for accessing region-specific content. Have you been wanting to watch a series or two that’s only available for streaming in certain countries? A VPN will let you watch these movies and shows! And one of the best parts of the VPN experience is it’s not just limited to your PC.

In fact, you’ll even be able to use one on your iPhone. Back when iOS 15 rolled out, Apple also introduced a feature called Private Relay, which can be used alongside a VPN for an even bigger boost in web security.
