I consider myself an authority on PC DVR — the hardware and software required to turn your PC into a TV recording machine. So this weekend, as an experiment, I spent some time creating a search engine for everything related to “PC DVR” using Google’s Custom Search Engine tool. I included websites for every TV tuner card manufacturer, every software product, and every community site that I could think of.

The final product was the PC DVR Search Engine, my first custom search engine. Screenshot below…

Try it out and let me know what you think, here in the comments or over on the forums.

Hopefully, for those of you on a mission to build your own PVR, it proves to be a useful tool.

(In case you are wondering, I don’t make any money off of the ads delivered here nor does SnapStream — it’s purely something I created for fun, something that I hope is useful to… someone. If you consider yourself a PC DVR expert and have some sites you’d like to contribute, volunteer to improve this search engine.)
