    if its a UITableViewController, as I believe it is, do this:

    [myTable setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"]]];

    or you can do (on a non-table view controller)

    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"]]];

    or on viewDidLoad you can do:

    UIImageView *backgroundView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"]] autorelease];
[self.view addSubview:backgroundView];

    but thats a bit messy – I prefer to use setBackgroundColor:
