The ultimate Beyond TV home?
August 25th, 2006 at 12:53 am by Rakesh
So it’s late at night and I’m browsing a bunch of different HTPC related forums. I post a bunch over on the htpcnews forums on SnapStream (while mentally flogging myself for not being more active there in the past couple of months… doh!). I head over to byopvr and I see a familiar avatar… it’s Will Ferrell! Hey, I know him, it’s btvfreak!
I see btvfreak’s posts on our forums all the time, but I guess I never took the time to actually click on the links in his sig. Tonight I did and I was extremely impressed with his Beyond TV setup… and how thoroughly he’s documented all the details on his blog.
Let’s take a tour:
We start by checking out btvfreak’s Beyond TV server, with what looks like 3 HDTV TV tuners and 3 analog TV tuners. Not bad.
Then, we move on to his living room and bedroom setups. Both are outfitted with quiet, attractive looking HTPC cases running Beyond TV Link.
Finally, checkout btvfreak’s home theater setup, complete with 46″ TV, an HTPC running Beyond TV Link and Beyond Media and a good ‘ol xbox.
Wow.

Ultimate home? Probably not, but thanks for the post! I’ve been using BTV since 2004 and have been loving it. I’m actually watching the Dolphins vs Panthers football game in HD as I write this. Gotta love it.

[...] I doubt it, but Snapstream CEO, Rakesh Agrawal, was kind enough to mention my humble setup on their company blog. Rampy of BYOPVR was also nice to blog about the Earth-shattering event. [...]
