with regards,

can this be used on touchscreen mobiles
nikhil: I think that this should work with the touchscreen devices as it is using the standard MIDP view components such as lists and forms. I don’t have such a device so I can’t verify this.
Hello Sir,
Please advice which WinTV USB from Huappage to buy that works with the program.I searched in Hauppauge site and it returned 102 items.I also want to extend the application to be able to record our local radio stations program.I will share the code if it works.Perhaps your advice will give me a head start.
Thanks alot for your effort and keep up the kind spirit of sharing your amazing knowledge with others.
@orto: I don’t have the device anymore and I can’t remember the actual model. It should work with any device model as long as the software can be controlled from the command prompt.
