 What countries support EyeTV Mobile?
Solution EyeTV Mobile supports a few television standards:

• DVB-T - Also known as DTT and Freeview, this is digital TV over antenna or aerial

• 1seg - A mobile TV standard originated in Japan

• SBTVD - A mobile TV standard based on ISDB-T used in some South American countries   

EyeTV Mobile only plays two video formats:

1) MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/H.264, in standard definition,

2) 1seg/SBTVD broadcasts using H.264, at 320x240 resolution.


Countries That Support DVB-T


EyeTV Mobile can receive video in countries that:

• Support DVB-T or DTT, such as in the European Union, and
• Have standard definition MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/H.264 broadcasts available.

A list of countries where DVB-T has been deployed is available here: http://dvb.org/about_dvb/dvb_worldwide/index.xml

Countries That Support 1seg

EyeTV Mobile does not support full resolution ISDB-T or SBTVD signals.


North American Countries Do Not Support EyeTV Mobile


EyeTV Mobile will not function in the United States or Canada, since those countries do not use DVB-T, 1seg nor SBTVD.

An ATSC M/H version of EyeTV Mobile is being evaluated for the United States. ATSC M/H is a new handheld TV standard now being adopted in many areas of the US. If you'd like to know more, please send an email to eyetvmobile-NA@elgato.com
