SnapStream Goes BeyondTV

Personal video recorder (PVR) software developer SnapStream Media has released a new version of its flagship software, complete with new features and a new name. The company is now referring to the SnapStream product as Beyond TV. Beyond TV lets Windows XP users turn their computers into PVRs without buying an expensive XP Media Center Edition (MCE) PC. Like XP MCE, SnapStream supports TV viewing and recording, although you must also purchase a separate PC TV tuner card. The new Beyond TV version includes an improved interface, commercial skipping, and support for Canadian users.
