BeyondTV 3.5 (a PVR)
A few minutes ago, SnapStream Media released a new version of their award-winning Personal Video Recorder. Now you can record several television shows at once (since it supports multiple tuner cards). They're also known as DVRs, typically linked with the verb “tivo.” With any one of these media solutions, you can record your favorite TV shows, pause live programs, and fast-forward through boring editorials with aging anchormen… if you like watching that sort of thing? I guess this is the closest thing I'll ever get to being on the cover of a magazine? It's a still photo, so don't stare too long. Seriously, though – if you don't have a PVR somewhere in your home, you're a below-average geek. Television will never be the same again (and neither will my chest).

True about having to have a PVR, but that's the beauty and appeal of it. Even non-Geeks can love their PRVs. I do love my TiVo. It rocks. It's my favorite machine, next to my Mac and PC computers. Yet, there are stubborn people who haven't seen the light. I'm trying to convince a friend of mine, a non-tech personality type, to buy a TiVo. I've tried my best, but he just doesn't get it. You'd think it would be a no-brainer since you can watch TV on your time, and all the other neat things possible with hard drive based video. I was an early adopter of the PVR/DVR, having mine since late 2000. In fact, earlier this week, I replaced one of my TiVos dual hard drives that was going bad (freezes, stuttering & reboots). As long as the PVR electronics are hooked to a UPS for protection, and you're able to replace a worn out hard drive now and then (not that difficult), these things can last years and years. I'll never go back to watching television without one.

I know what you are saying. I love my DVR that our cable company has put out. The wife wasn't too interested at first, but now that I can record her whole Monday lineup on two different channels she loves it.
