The Hauppauge Broadway joins a minuscule crew of set-top boxes that focus on place shifting—the ability to babysit for whatever’s playing on your home TV on an Internet-connected mobile device (in this protection, an iPhone OS or Android mobile device, or any device using a computer browser with Moment support). Like competitors such as Monsoon’s Vulkano models or Catapult Media’s Slingbox, the Broadway grabs video from antenna, coaxial telegram, or satellite or cable TV boxes; transforms it into a streaming-friendly organization; and sends it to your device over your home network and, optionally, the Internet.
At $199, with no additional charges for patron software, it’s less expensive than some competitors, but also not quite as full-featured. It doesn’t, for criterion, support my cable box’s DVR and on-demand controls. Also, in my tests, setup proved rather complex; for that reason, I can’t heartily recommend the product to nontechies. But once I got it up and running, I found the Broadway to be melodious good at what it does, and less prone to the crashes and quality issues that have plagued my efforts with competitors.
