Hauppauge Computer Works has released Wing, a software application that, in conjunction with its WinTV-PVR hardware--a plug-in card that brings personal video recorder technology to PCs--allows users to record television shows directly to their video iPods or Sony PlayStation Portables.
So, if you have a video iPod and want to watch ABC, you don't necessarily have to pay Apple Computer for the opportunity to download their show from the iTunes store.
Wing is like TiVo for the video iPod or the PSP. It works by digitally recording TV programming directly from a user's PC to a portable device via the Hauppauge card. Users who want premium cable content, such as HBO programming, would need to connect a set-top box or satellite receiver to their PC.
Apparently a half hour show would take one hour to record. This seems an interesting move. I guess the copyright issues are properly thought out. I should be the same as for PVR's like Tivo.
