Apple temporarily removes Elgato’s EyeTV App from iTunes to App Store

Apple has removed Elgato’s EyeTV App from the iTunes to App Store due to an Easter Egg that allowed users to stream their EyeTV content over 3G networks. The app is supposed to do such streaming only over WiFi.

Elgato has since issued a statement:

Some test code that enabled live TV streaming over the cellular network was accidentally left in the the EyeTV App. Apple requested that we remove the code since their agreement with AT&T does not allow redirecting TV signals over the cellular network. The code was removed and a 1.0.1 version of the EyeTV app was submitted.
