Product works well, but research it at Dyle.tv first!
By Roger Keating
Just got the Audiovox MobileTV tuner and have used it in a taxi, sitting in Central Park (I live in NYC) and from my apartment and it works great -- I get both NBC, Fox, Qubo for the kids and Telemundo (which doesnt help me since I dont speak Spanish). Definitely look up the coverage area at Dyle.tv before buying this product to see what channels are available where you live because not all broadcast stations send their signal through Dyle. Also, if you couldn't get TV with rabbit ears, this won't work for you either -- the signal is being picked up from the station's broadcast tower, not through the cellular network. That said, I can fire it up, throw it on my window sill and watch live TV from my iPad anywhere in my apartment without racking up data charges. Just gotta do some research first at Dyle.tv. Happy TV viewing!

The Fine Print
By ManOfManyInterests
This product works as advertised if you use a later generation tablet or cell phone. It did not work with an IPad 1 but it did work with an IPad 3 and with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch model. It also worked well with my Samsung Galaxy Note II cell phone. There are 5 stations available in my area that are accessible with the Dyle box. All of them gave a crystal clear picture most of the time no matter what part of the metro area I tested them except for one station that worked 80% of the time. (I live in suburban Cincinnati)
You are probably thinking why did this guy give the thing 3 stars if it worked as well as he said it did? I'll tell you what they are not telling you based on my personal experience. Dyle TV does not have broadcasting rights to rebroadcast NFL football. I tried to watch 3 different games the weekend that I had it. All of them were blacked out. One channel broadcasted their alternative weather channel during the game. The other channel had a static banner up the entire game stating that Dyle TV did not have rebroadcasting rights. One channel did broadcast pregame highlights but the picture became very pixelated every time they showed game highlights. I also heard on my local news station that the Dyle TV service is currently free but they (Dyle) reserve the rights to charge for the service in the future. Perhaps someone from Dyle can comment on this.
I would guess that the native resolution of Dyle TV is something around 640 x 360 pixels. This means that the signal is less than high definition which would have to be at least 1280 X 720 to be 720p. There is a picture resize tool in their application which allows you to view channels in their native resolution. The native resolution on some channels yielded a picture that was about 1/8 the size of my cell phone which is tiny. I would expect that the thing would be able to rebroadcast in high definition on a phone or tablet that has the capability to replay a signal in 1080p.
I'm not trying to badmouth or bash this product. It does work and it is watchable. The picture stayed almost perfectly synced with the sound all the time. It works as advertised. My deal breakers were the lack of high definition and no NFL rebroadcast on Sundays which were enough for me to send it back. It is also too expensive in my opinion. I can buy a RCA DPTM70R 7-Inch 60Hz TV right here on Amazon for $15 less than this unit and have a 7 inch TV that will get all the broadcast NFL games in my area and I don't have to worry about the battery on my phone running down. I will also get many more channels with the RCA TV vs. Dyle. The RCA will receive all of the broadcast stations in my area. (44 channels) The Dyle unit only gets 5. From what I understand, my area has more Dyle stations than most so you should check to see what you are going to get before you buy this. Don't assume you will get all of the stations in your area because you won't.
Also beware that the audiovox unit is about the size of half a pack of cigarettes if you would cut it in half top to bottom. I would think that it would be very easy to loose. I would suggest to Audiovox that they put some sort of thingy on the box so you can attach it to a lanyard or a key ring so you don't loose the thing.

Works Great!
By Peter J Van Peenen
Works as advertised. I can watch 3 local stations in the Tampa Bay area.
I've tried it on an iPad (3rd generation) running iOS 7, iPhone 4s running iOS 6and iPhone 5s (of course running iOS 7).
Note that you need to be sure to download the correct app: search for 'Siano' in the iTunes app store. If you download the wrong app, you will get 'Receiver Not Detected' error message.
