SnapStream Media Launches Enterprise TV with BearCheck™ Technology
Remove the fear of watching TV by automatically being alerted to bears on the screen.

Houston, April 1, 2008- SnapStream Media, Inc. announced today the addition of the patented BearCheck™ technology to its Enterprise TV Server solution. In addition to recording and searching over 3000 hours of television across 10 tuners, the Enterprise Server can now detect and alert the viewer to the presence of bears on the screen. Handy for organizations that have an unusual aversion to the pictures of bears, BearCheck™ takes all of the worry out of the TV viewing experience.

Available as a free upgrade to all Enterprise TV servers, BearCheck™ may be available for download in the future.

    Nice feature addition. Whats the ETA for this feature to be added for the non-Enterprise users? And while we’re at it when will it be integrated with Beyond Media? I’m guessing April 1, 2009???

    Brent, We know better than to make jokes about integration, even if it IS April Fool’s Day. :-)

    Thank you SO much for implementing this vital feature! It’s been a long time coming (and you know how vocal I have been about implementing this!), and I am glad it is here now. This feature puts SnapStream’s Beyond TV product at the forefront of personal video recorder technology once again. Kudos to you!
