EyeTV app developed by Elgato has certainly been in the headlines recently. Yesterday Apple removed EyeTV from the App Store because it allowed live TV streaming for iPhone 3G. Just now, the EyeTV app has reappeared in the US, UK and German’s App Store. On Yesterday’s removal Elgato issued a statement that said:

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.  We expect EyeTV to return to the App Store when the 1.0.1 version is approved

However there exists uncertainty regarding the submitted app being the updated one (EyeTV 1.0.1) or the one which enables live TV streaming. 9to5Mac received news from a tipster who said  that the app appears to be version 1.0.0 (which enables live TV streaming). However the tipster also highlighted the possibility of the company not wanting to change the name of the app.

Interestingly the updated EyeTV 1.0.1 has been submitted to the App Store as confirmed by the tipster. So this means only one thing the updated app might be making an appearance on the App store pretty soon.
