Hauppauge Launches iPhone Placeshifting

by

Have a Hauppauge TV tuner in your computer? Then odds are you can stream live TV over the internet to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad over WiFi using the company’s new WinTV v7.2 software.

Hauppauge is charging $9.95 for the upgrade, which also lets you watch and record live television on a computer. It’s not quite as attractive or easy to use as a full fledged media center application like Windows Media Center, BeyondTV, or SageTV. But it features a recording scheduler, support for multiple TV tuners, and a signal strength monitor for digital TV channels.

This latest version of WinTV introduces WinTV Extend, which acts as the server to stream live or recorded TV shows to any device running a supported web browser. That includes the Safari web browser for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, as well as Mac computers. You can also stream TV to a PC using any web browser that supports Adobe Flash.

  1. hauppauge stream tv to iPhone.once install on pc, how do I point my iPhone to it?hauppauge site has no instructions!Apple has no app. Help

  2. Yeah, I think someone jumped the gun. The version on their website is still 7.0 so it doesn’t have the feature and the app doesn’t show up in iTunes.

  3. There’s not supposed to be an iPhone app — you use Safari to access the video. Not sure when the V7.2 download will be available though. Hauppauge made it sound like it should be ready now.

  5. That’s a pretty poorly written story from Mobiputing. I wonder if they edited it? Dave’s says app but theirs says software. Funny how the term app automatically means Apple to us these days..

  7. And it doesn’t look like they’re charging for it, only if you don’t have your original CD..

  8. I did edit the title for what I thought was clarity, but misunderstood what they’re releasing. And I’ve just tweaked the title and content accordingly. I’ll take a closer look in the near future and maybe compare to EyeTV’s various streaming options.
