Today at the Gadget Show Live Hauppauge launched a new TV tuner designed to stream TV to an iPad or iPhone. The Broadway 2T tuner is a standalone box that you connect to your network (wired or wifi) and has dual Freeview tuners built in to it that will enable streaming of the TV signal to an iOS device either over your home network or the internet. As well as the TV tuner it also has USB and video inputs so you could stream video from a USB devices, webcam or a set top box.  On the iPad you use the web based UI where you can watch live TV and browse the built in EPG.

I think for iPad or iPhone users the box could be really interesting, Garry and I met up with Hauppauge today and recorded some video today so look out for that over the next couple of days. While this will not work with Windows Media Center you can use it on a PC via their software and there is the possibility of an Android version soon

The normal price is £181.94 with special offers at the show

  1. PCTV is on the right track with this release, but they seem to be following a path already made. This T2 seems to be a Sling Box with a ridiculous price tag on it. I use the remote access app from my employer, DISH Network, to stream live TV and DVR recordings remotely to my phone. I couldn’t be happier paying only 99 dollars for my Sling adapter.

  2. The benefit of using PCTV Broadway is you have an out-of-the-box solution. Place it anywhere with good TV reception, turn it on and open up distan.tv on you iOS device. No cable connections, no wires. All works over WiFi 🙂
