Even if your cable TV provider has decided to offer live TV streaming for your mobile devices , you are able to do it yourself with the recent HDHomeRun iPad app from Elgato . Paired with one among SiliconDust’s new HDHomeRun Prime CableCARD tuners , the $17.99 app can tune into cable channels which might be sent without encyption or are marked copy freely (varies from provider to provider) or even allows users to record them right at the app. Restrictions include that it only works at the iPad 2, with standard definition MPEG-2 channels and (for now) only the latest HDHomeRun hardware is supported. Take a look at the video demo for more info on exactly the way it works or click the source link to get to iTunes and purchase — in a market suddenly flooded by CableCARD tuners maybe this additional functionality is only what’s had to tip the balance between one device or another.
San Francisco, Calif. – August 19, 2011 – Elgato today announced that its HDHomeRun® PRIME™ App for iPad 2 is accessible at the App Store. The App works together with the Silicondust HDHomeRun PRIME line of CableCard™-enabled network tuners, and it enables users to stream and record live premium cable TV to iPad 2. Whether that you must watch the scoop within the kitchen when you make dinner, or the 3-hitter at the patio on a warm evening, or late night TV without disturbing anyone, the HDHomeRun PRIME App enables viewing and recording of live cable TV anywhere to your home’s Wi-Fi network.
Elgato’s HDHomeRun App and Silicondust HDHomeRun PRIME together deliver premium television and DVR capabilities to iPad 2. The HDHomeRun PRIME device sends the television signal straight to the HDHomeRun PRIME App, so there is not any need for the user to show on a working laptop or computer. This protects energy and adds to the benefit of use that users have come to expect from Elgato products. As well, the HDHomeRun PRIME App lets the user record programs on to their iPad with the choice of transferring those recordings from the iPad 2 to a Mac or PC.
Elgato’s latest solution streams cable TV “copy freely” channels to iPad 2. Users with Verizon FiOS or Comcast cable television have a selected advantage, because the majority of channels from these providers are sent with a ‘copy freely’ flag. And of course, users receive each of the unencrypted digital cable TV (Clear QAM) channels offered by their cable provider.
“With our new HDHomeRun PRIME App, we would have liked to give iPad 2 users much more accessibility to their favorite TV programming,” said Adam Steinberg, Elgato’s VP of promoting. “Our HDHomeRun solution opens up a global of TV viewing options for users. Couple this with the indisputable fact that you do not need a working laptop or computer to enable the streaming of live TV to iPad 2, and the limitations of archaic TV watching are a specific thing of the past.”
“Elgato is an innovative leader for TV content control on Apple devices. Silicondust has collaborated for years with Elgato to make certain users the flexibility to manage digital TV on their home network, using the HDHomeRun line of goods,” said Theodore Head, Silicondust’s President / CEO. “This new app continues our vision of Freedom Across Your place Network allowing you to observe, Pause, Record Live Digital TV Anywhere at your residence, and now out of your iPad 2.”
