The only way I could avoid this was to disable the passcode option altogether-and try to connect again. In what appears to be a bug, I remained stuck at the final “Connecting to” stage. However, ultimate success remained elusive. The required name is “EyeTV.”Īfter entering the correct name and passcode, I successfully navigated past the Secure Log In. It was this passcode that the Secure Log In screen was requesting. It includes an option to “Require a passcode.” As it turned out, I had enabled this option back when I first set up the separate EyeTV iPhone app. Watch iPhone Video Over 3G With EyeTV Web App Elgato has managed to sneakily work its way around Apples restriction. They had the (as yet undocumented) answer:īack at EyeTV’s iPhone Preferences screen, there is a “More Options” button at the bottom. I contacted Elgato Technical Support for help. Instead, I was unexpectedly presented with a second Secure Website Log In screen, requesting yet another name and password. If all goes well, you at last connect and can stream video from the EyeTV application on your Mac. Here is where you enter the address and password of your EyeTV account. The initial screen asks for an e-mail address and password. To create an account, click the Change button in the iPhone Preferences window and then click “Create Account.” (Note: you may have already created an account via EyeTV Setup Assistant.) When done, a confirmation that the account is “Working properly” should appear in the EyeTV iPhone Preferences window.Īt this point, you are ready to give EyeTV Live 3G a try. For the latter option, you will also need an EyeTV account. From the iPhone section of EyeTV’s Preferences (pictured below), the checkboxes for both the “Enable access from EyeTV for iPhone” and “Use My EyeTV” options should be enabled.From the Sharing section of EyeTV’s Preferences, “Share my EyeTV Archive” must be enabled.The Mac’s firewall must either be off or set to include EyeTV as an allowed application (as described in this Elgato support document).Fortunately, all recent versions of AirPort Extreme Base Station and AirPort Express meet this requirement. Your Mac must be connected to a router that supports NAT-PMP or UPnP (as explained here).Update to the latest 3.3 (or later) version.
