Interesting threads in the SnapStream forums

Two interesting threads going on in the SnapStream forums… The first one is about the 2009 transition to digital — since it this FCC-mandated transition only officially applies to antenna transmissions, does it mean anything for regular analog cable?

Another one that I just started: Have you ever watched a popular TV show streamed over the web on your laptop? How do you think this popular new way of delivering television shows will change traditional cable/satellite/antenna television?

Updated How-to: Using Beyond TV and the HD Home Run

Thursday, January 10th, 2008 at 1:09 pm by Rakesh

Grant (btvfreak in the forums) has updated his how-to on using Beyond TV with the SiliconDust HDHomeRun to reflect changes that SiliconDust has made to their setup process.

For those that are new to building their own PC DVR, the HDHomeRun is a great TV tuner if you want to use Beyond TV to record the unencrypted channels on your digital cable feed. Our original (and now slightly outdated) how-to on using Beyond TV and the HDHomeRun can be found here.
