Sadly a great app is now unusable
This was our go-to method of watching TV. On an iPad. Really. Sadly now it has compulsory audio narrative like the new 64 bit EyeTV app for Mac. Both are completely useless.

After the latest update, the app no longer recognizes my Netstream DTT. If Geniatech’s “support” for their desktop software is anything to go by, I don’t expect a fix in the near future…
The latest update to 2.90 has completely broken compatibility with my Elgato Netstream. Suggest that you don’t install this until someone else has confirmed that the issue is local to me. The new version fails to see the netstream on our network whilst EyeTV on the Mac continues to function correctly. Sadly I can’t see a way to revert this change. Disappointed because this was an app we all used daily. Perhaps someone from Geniatech can get in touch once they’ve fixed this…
This app is fine. It gives you live tv on your IOS device and allows you to record the current program (time shift). It does not allow you to record from the guide and it does not allow you to delete duplicate channels. There seems to be no use for the two channel tuner on IOS. It means I can use my old Netstream DTT (which has sat in a cupboard for years) as an IOS TV tuner independently of the Mac. The Netstream still works on the Mac with the included EyeTV software.
Not sure what Geniatech have been doing. But the latest update introduced a number of bugs which did not exist in previous versions, namely: - fast switching by clicking on the channel icon in the lower left corner does not work anymore - If you decide to watch a programme and then change channels by swiping left or right, the channel information viewable by clicking the (i) will still display the one from the original channel These were functionalities which worked flawlessly for years. I am not why Geniatech decided to make a good app worse.
This is a great app for watching TV around the house, no issues streaming around the WiFi network. Would benefit from being able to use the PIP mode on the iPad though.
This app was working fine, since the update it now goes to a black screen with only sound working. No way to exit the screen apart from swiping which then changes the channel, and you then have to go back to square one and search through the channels... Hope this is a one off aberration...
Could do with an Apple TV version of this software. Using it the UK with Freesat. This app has problems with lip sync, but I don't have such problems with the iOS EyeTV app. Also, disappointed that the guide only provides now and next, not the 7 day guide available from Freesat. Elgato, please, please make an Apple TV app for this device.
Very disappointed with the Netstream app. It is next to useless for the main HD Freesat channels as you can only listen to the Audio Description/Narrative audio, not the main programme sound. No way of switching to the main audio stream in the app. (Not sure if this is an app limitation or in the transcoding hardware in the Netstream 4sat, and it may be linked to Dolby audio) Also the app crashes on iOS 9...
Installed on iOS9 on both iPad and iPhone - crashes every time on both. Please fix it asap
