Gizmo Ground

Not sure how we missed this one last month, but Equinux is offering a device that streams terrestrial TV (DVB-T/DTT) to your iPad (or iPhone) called Tizi. A small, pocket sized black box with an antenna grabs and decodes the TV signal, and then sends the information over your WiFi network to the iPad running the accompanying iPad/iPhone app. Pretty simple, right?

We’re hearing that the box has a 3.5 hour battery life and weighs just 2.5oz. It recharges via USB. Inside the black box is a high-performance ARM 9 RISC-Processor to decode the digital television signal. The antenna, which inevitably gets broken on all portable devices, is made from a malleable metal alloy to avoid creases and also improves reception.


The Tizi is compatible with all iOS 4 devices (3rd and 4th Gen iPod Touches). Unfortunately, it’s not yet available in the US.
