A Hauppauge-based developer and manufacturer of TV tuners for personal computers has expanded its computerized TV holdings to the Apple iPad.
Hauppauge Digital recently launched a free app for the iPad that allows users to pair the device with the Hauppauge Digital TV tuner they have installed on their PC. Known as WinTV Extend for iPad, the app allows users to watch live TV on their iPad just as if they were doing so on their home computer using a TV tuner. In addition, users who have recorded TV programs using a PC-based Hauppauge TV tuner can watch those recordings anytime on the iPad.
The app only works with Wi-Fi, so those with only a 3G connection will be unable to watch their shows.
