Hauppauge Launches Mobile DVB-T Digital TV Receiver for Personal Computers, Powered By Siano

Hauppauge Digital has announced the launch of a new small sized, high performance mobile digital TV USB receiver which uses Siano’s Mobile Digital TV (MDTV) receiver silicon.

WinTV MiniStick offers smaller size and higher performance than previous generation DVB-T receivers

WinTV MiniStick enables end users to watch their favorite digital TV programs, live on their laptops or the new generation of ultra-mobile PCs, anytime and anywhere. WinTV MiniStick exhibits high-speed mobility, smooth handovers, and reception sufficiently sensitive to allow indoor usage. In addition, it consumes lower battery power, making it perfect for use with ultra mobile PCs (UMPCs).

The innovative miniature USB “stick” is based on Siano's multi-standard mobile TV receiver chip – the SMS1150. The Siano single chip architecture reduces the size, power and cost of WinTV MiniStick, which will help drive the adoption of this product as a digital TV receiver for the mobile laptop computer market.
