HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hauppauge
Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAUP), the world's leading developer and
manufacturer of TV tuner products for personal computers, announced
today that their WinTV-HVR TV tuner boards for PCs can now stream
live TV over the Internet to the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and
any Apple Macintosh computer which supports a Safari web

Live TV for these Apple devices is provided by Hauppauge's "WinTV
Extend", which will be a feature in Hauppauge's new WinTV v7.2
application. WinTV Extend transmits live TV to Internet and WiFi
connected devices such as the Apple iPad, iPhone and others. The
WinTV v7.2 application provides live TV and TV recording to PCs
equipped with a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR TV tuner.
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR TV tuners bring live TV, both standard

feature will take the live TV signal and transmit it over the
Internet where it can be received by the iPad, iPhone or iPod
Touch, or by a Mac computer, through the Safari web browser.
With a WinTV-HVR TV tuner and WinTV Extend running on a PC at home,
a user of a supported Apple device can be anywhere in the world and
can have live TV from their home sent over the Internet to their
Apple device screen. On the large screen iPad or a Mac computer,
the live TV image can be displayed along side the TV tuner channel
list from your WinTV-HVR at home. On the iPhone and iPod touch, the
user can switch between the display of the TV channel list and live
TV.
