I use the OrbLive app to stream my tv.

Thanks for the update jim

I just got my cd in today as well. The wintv extend actual tv screen is only about 1/4 of the ipad screen... It is pretty blocky when zoomed to full screen, buit much better than the justin.tv app...

Overall, I am happy, but i don't think i would be going out and buying a tv tuner card for my pc just for this utility...then again, i can say that bc I already have it!

Deeny, I see you are active over there too... Let me know if you figure something out.

Where is the forum on the Hauppage website? I can't seem to find it, and I am interested in seeing what other people's experiences have been. I have their HVR-1600 tuner installed on my PC--it came installed with the Windows Media Center--and I want to stream to my iPad. Since I don't have the installation CD, I guess I will need to order it from their website, but I want to see if others have had any issues first.
Thanks.

I rec'd my wintv extend cd last week and I am watching the tv live news everyday while on the treadmill in the garage. I enlarge the screen to full and it looks fine to me.No problems but I am only recieving 13 channels rather the the 100 I have on cable which is no big deal.. Now I want to add this, I used to use my note book win7 watching hulu but almost every day yhe computer would have to restart or something else and it always took 5 to 10 mins to get it going again which was a pain in you know where. I does not happen with the ipad except once and to restart again took about 30 secs. I never want to go back to the notebook, jim_joh

Any updated on this? Have they improved the quality? Is it still a good option over the pricey option of buying a new Solo Slingbox and paying $30 for the Slingbox app?

From my research, the EyeTV cannot be beat for all it does. I like when nature calls and I am in the middle of a race or game on TV, I can go to my iPad and not lose a minute. Or I can use the app to record a show on my computer while not leaving my living room. And if nothing else, it makes a good PiP alternative.

Problem is I don't have a Mac.

Anyone else using the Hauppauge card for live tv stream?

I have a data plan on my iPhone which is limited. How much data will WinTV Extend use? - well I read the answer to this on their hauppauge web site and it said 450mb for 10 hrs (45mb per hr) so I used it for a total of just 6 hrs knowing that should be under my plan allowance (400mb) - but I just got a bill for $ 620.00 from my 3G provider it uses 275mb per hr - not 45mb (275 @ $0.50c per mb ( charged when I go over my plan ) =$137.00 per hr- so not good to use on 3G network unless you have a massive plan I am now having to pay off my bill and have not heard back from *hauppauge about the answer on their web site - I can only hope that others will see this post before trying it like I did*- I now only use it over wifi - I learnt the hard way and wont use it over 3G again ( which by the way was the main reason I wanted it
