Hauppauge Computer Works, a division of Hauppauge Digital, has released a new software product that allows TV programmes to be first recorded on a PC, and then shown on a Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) or video iPod.

Priced at $24.95 the Wing software is being sold as an accessory to Hauppauge’s PC-based WinTV-PVR personal video recorders.

Combined, the technology allows live TV shows to be recorded and played on a PC, TV set or portable player, and Wing can also be used to convert existing TV recordings to both PSP and iPod format.

“The emergence of portable video players like the Sony PSP and video iPod has created a demand for an easy solution for recording live TV shows for playback on these devices,” said Hauppauge President, Ken Plotkin.

“WinTV-PVRs have been very popular for recording TV on PCs, and Wing will be an invaluable tool for the many WinTV-PVR users who also have a portable video player.”
