At the Gadget Show in Birmingham PCTV, a division of Hauppauge Digital, has launched its Broadway 2T, a wireless TV streaming device.
The Broadway 2T might look like a broadband router at first, but it is actually a device for streaming Freeview TV and personal content to your desktop PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. The device is available at this week's Gadget Show for £159.99 and thereafter will cost £229.
The small box has dual DVB-T receivers and uses both WiFi and 3G so you can access content via LAN or the Internet via an existing router. You can in theory watch live TV or pre-recorded content on your device anywhere in the world, provided you have a WiFi or 3G connection. The Broadway 2T supports the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems along with Apple's IOS on Ipads and Iphones.
Support for devices running Google's Android operating system will come in the next couple of months with possible support for Windows Phone 7 devices afterwards. You can also connect the device to a set-top box or external hard drive for playback.
Unlike rival services, PCTV's device has no strings attached or hidden costs such as paying for the associated app for your phone or tablet because the system uses the existing web browser. Firmware updates will also be free of charge.
PCTV says that an audio and video input turn your Ipad or Iphone into a remote surveillance solution by connecting an analogue camera. You can apparently control your home content and perform tasks such as scheduling a recording.
