Tizi, Germany’s version of a Slingbox-like device, has released a new Tizi Remote app for iOS (App Store link), allowing you to control the Tizi wireless TV box using Siri voice control.
The Tizi comes in two versions: The Tizi Go which plugs directly into the iPad, and the standard Tizi, which streams live TV to your iOS device over WiFi. Tizi’s devices are designed to allow you to view and record TV directly on your iOS device.
The new Tizi Remote app communicates with the hardware, and also allows you to use an iPhone or iPod touch to control Tizi on the iPad. If you have an iPhone 4S, you can even change the channels using Siri voice control – a very unique feature that shows interesting possibilities.
Unfortunately, the Tizi is unavailable in the U.S., and there are currently no plans for U.S. release. If you happen to live in Germany, however, the Tizi and Tizi Go are available for €139.99 and €99.99, respectively.
For more information, head on over to Tizi’s official website. In the meantime, check out the below video to see it in action (the video is in German, but is still quite interesting even if you don’t speak the language)!
