New! WinTV v7.2 with WinTV Extend
WinTV Extend overview
WinTV Extend is a Internet video server application built into the WinTV v7.2 application. WinTV Extend runs on Windows based PCs (it currently does not run on a Mac, though TV from WinTV Extend can be watched on a Mac).
WinTV Extend will take the live TV signal from any Hauppauge TV tuner, converts the TV signal into a form which is compatible with an iPad or iPhone (or Android phone or tablet, PC or Mac) and sends it to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android, Mac or PC computer over a WiFi connection or over a cell phone network.
To run WinTV Extend, you need to have a WinTV TV tuner in your PC, and your PC needs to be connected to either a home WiFi network or the Internet.
On your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, all you need is the Safari browser which comes with all Apple devices. If you are using a Mac or a PC, all you need is a browser (Safari recommended on the Mac) and a Flash video player. If you are using an Android phone or tablet, you need to be running Android version 2.2 or later with a Flash video player.
WinTV v7.2 with WinTV Extend is available from the Hauppauge webstore at a cost of $9.95 (plus shipping). You can order it from:

If you click on the Gallery tab, you will find some screen shots of an iPhone receiving video from WinTV Extend. The iPhone pictures show the TV control overlay with Pause and 30 second replay.
WinTV Extend currently runs with the following WinTV TV tuners:
All WinTV-HVR TV tuners for North America and Europe, plus the WinTV-NOVA-T, WinTV-NOVA-S and WinTV-MiniStick products in Europe and Asia.Minimum System Requirements For WinTV Extend
