  • WinTV 7.2 with Extend

WinTV Extend is an Internet video streaming application built into some versions of the WinTV v8 and WinTV v7.2 applications. WinTV Extend takes the live TV signal from any Hauppauge TV tuner and converts the TV signal into a form which is compatible with an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, PC or Mac computer. WinTV Extend then 'streams' the converted TV signal over the Internet to the receiver device.

WinTV Extend can be stream to a web based client, or if you are using an iPad or iPhone, you can use the Hauppauge Extend app which can be downloaded from the Apple app store.

WinTV v8 with Extend and WinTV v7.2 with Extend run on Windows based PCs with Windows 10, 8, 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. It currently does not run on a Mac, though TV from WinTV Extend can be watched on a Mac.

WinTV Extend has the following features

  • Streams live TV to your iPad or iPhone, or remote Mac or PC via Wi-Fi or the Internet
  • On the receiving device, you can use either an Internet browser to watch TV or you can use the WinTV Extend iOS app for the iPhone or iPad
  • Digital parental control (North America)
  • Closed captions (North America)
  • High Definition TV support (when used with Hauppauge TV tuners with HD TV support)
  • Integrated TV recording scheduler
  • Instant time shift and recording
  • Multiple tuner support, either the WinTV-HVR-22xx or the WinTV-dualHD
  • Logical channel numbers

To run WinTV Extend, you need to have a WinTV TV tuner in your PC and your PC needs to be connected to either a home Wi-Fi network or the Internet.

The WinTV Extend app for your iPad or iPhone

The WinTV Extend app is available from the Apple app store at no cost. To download WinTV Extend, look up 'WinTV Extend' on the Apple app store.

Here's a link to the Hauppauge Extend app on the Apple app store:

The WinTV Extend iPad/iPhone app uses a Wi-Fi connection only (no 3G or 4G support is currently available). Wi-Fi can be used to watch live TV from your Hauppauge TV tuner in your home or in a hotel (as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection for your iPhone or iPad). If you want to watch TV over a 3G or 4G connection, you can use WinTV Extend with Safari or any other Internet browser.

WinTV Extend for Android devices, Windows phones, PCs or Macs

If you are using a Mac, PC or Android device, all you need is browser (Safari recommended on the Mac, Chrome or Internet Explorer on your PC). If you are using an Android phone or tablet, you need to be running Android version 4.1 or later.

To run Extend on your device, you will use a browser. Please refer to the Extend Quick Install Guide in the section called 'Watching TV on your iPhone, iPad or other remote device '.

Here's a link to the Extend app on the Apple app store:

Minimum System Requirements For WinTV Extend

A Core 2 Duo CPU 2.0 Ghz or faster is required for proper operation of WinTV Extend. Due to transcoding that must take place, higher CPU power will be required than the original WinTV hardware product specifications. Software encoder products will require a higher end CPU than the hardware encoder products, and especially with analog video.

I have a data plan on my iPhone which is limited. How much data will WinTV Extend use?

Activation Code For Wintv 8.5

WinTV Extend, when used to send video over a cell phone network, consumes approximately 490 Mbytes per month for 10 hours of remote TV watching. When WinTV Extend is used through a WiFi network, there is no cell phone usage.

I can connect to the extend server but live video will not play?

In order to stream video, disk buffering must be enabled. This means WinTV can not be set to game mode and your disk buffering cannot be set to zero. Go to settings in WinTV v8 or WinTV v7.2 and click the Capture tab to check disk buffer size. Click the Advance tab in settings to check game mode.

Why can't I see all of my TV channels on my iPad?

Wintv
If you have problems seeing the complete TV channel list on an iPad, use two fingers to scroll the channel list. On the iPad, you need to touch a channel number once to set the channel. To scroll the channel list, use two fingers. Click once on the TV picture to see the video controls: 30 second replay, pause, play, full screen, audio volume adjust.

My PC is running very slow when I'm using analog cable TV with WinTV Extend. What can I do to improve my system performance?

If you are using analog cable TV, you will get better performance if you use a Hauppauge TV tuner with hardware encode. Hauppauge TV tuners with hardware encoders include the WinTV-HVR-1600, WinTV-HVR-1850, WinTV-HVR-1950 and WinTV-HVR-2250. Your system performance can improve by about 30% by using a hardware encoder.

I'd like to watch TV on my iPad from outside my house. How do I open a port on my router so that this will work?

For WinTV Extend to be used from outside of your home, you need to have an open 'port' on your Internet router which allows video to pass from the PC which is running WinTV Extend to your iPad or other supported device.
For instructions on opening a port on your router, click here.

Can I use WinTV Extend with the IR blaster?

Yes. If you have one of the Hauppauge TV tuners with a built-in IR blaster, WinTV Extend can use the IR blaster to change the channels on your cable TV or satellite set top box. Hauppauge TV tuners with a built-in IR blaster include the WinTV-HVR-1600, WinTV-HVR-1850, WinTV-HVR-1950 and WinTV-HVR-2250.

Can I use WinTV Extend with the HD PVR 2 or the original HD PVR?

Yes, WinTV v8 supports the HD PVR 2 and the original HD PVR.
