Sure, Elgato already has an app that lets you stream TV to your iPad (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/elgato-hdhomerun-ipad-app-brings-some-cable-channels-to-the-ta/) -- but that's only if they're being broadcast online. To pull in live TV over the air you'd need a TV-tuner (http://www.engadget.com/tag/tvtuner), something that has, until now, been unavailable for Apple's popular slate. By the end of September that lack of broadcast television will become just a distant memory with the release of EyeTV Mobile, a £100 (about $163) dongle that connects to the iPad's proprietary port. The tuner will be able to pull in MPEG 2 streams over DVB-T (http://www.engadget.com/tag/DVB-T), but won't work with DVB-T2 broadcasts like Freeview HD. Check out the source for more details.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/elgato-eyetv-mobile-dongle-brings-live-tv-to-the-ipad-2/
