Hauppauge Digital develops analog and digital television tuners and other products for the personal computer market.

The company said its WinTV-HVR TV tuner cards for PCs can stream live TV from a user's home over the internet to the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and any Apple Macintosh computer which supports a Safari Web browser, with the help of its WinTV Extend feature.

The WinTV v7.2 application that includes WinTV Extend will be available directly from Hauppauge for $9.95.

Most of the company's products enable the recording of TV shows to a PC's hard disk, receiving of digital TV data transmissions, and the display of digital media stored on a computer to a TV set via a home network.

The company also competes with Sony Corp, Toshiba Corp, Cisco Systems and others for some of its products in the consumer electronics market.

Hauppauge was co-founded by CEO Kenneth Plotkin, who worked with Intel Corp for eight years, in 1992.
