Elgato EyeTV Mobile ships to the US, brings Dyle live TV tuning to data cap-dodging iOS users

We've only seen [periodic](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/24/cydle-i30-cradle-delivers-digital-tv-to-your-iphone-finally-lan/) [attempts](http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/belkin-teams-with-mobile-content-venture/) at melding live [ATSC-Mobile](http://www.engadget.com/tag/atsc-mh) TV with iOS devices; more often than not, internet-free broadcasting to American smartphones and tablets has been [the domain](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/03/metropcs-outs-samsung-galaxy-s-lightray-4g/) of Android. [Elgato](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Elgato/) is seeking some balance by shipping one of the few peripherals delivering over-the-air US TV to our iPhones and iPads. The new version of the [EyeTV Mobile](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/31/elgato-outs-smaller-eyetv-mobile-and-new-eyetv-micro/) dongle gives iOS devices with 30-pin connectors ([or an adapter](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/08/apple-30-pin-adapter-begins-shipping/)) access to live TV stations under [Dyle Mobile TV's](http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/12/hands-on-dyle-mobile-tv/) service umbrella, including some local Fox and NBC channels. A free EyeTV Mobile app is part and parcel of the strategy with an option to pause live shows as well as a programming guide. The add-on is in US stores now for $100, although it could pay for itself in an era when carriers want to [stifle unlimited data](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/verizon-cfo-claims-unlimited-data-is-dead/) and make streaming TV an expensive proposition.
