Help us test the latest beta of Beyond TV

For about two weeks, we’ve been publicly beta testing the next release of Beyond TV, version 4.8.2. Some of what’s new:
- Much faster library and scheduler
- Scrollable Couchville-style program guide in the web interface (see screenshot below)
- Lots of web interface improvements
- Update DivX and H.264 encoders
- Automatic HD ShowSqueeze exposed by default
A screenshot of the new Couchville-style program guide in the new Beyond TV beta:
If you’d like to help us test the Beyond TV 4.8.2 beta, just sign-up (access is immediate) and you’ll be able to download it.
P.S. we also have another beta, a private beta, of a version of Beyond TV that supports recording unencrypted QAM (aka clear QAM) on Hauppauge devices such as the HVR-1600, HVR-1800, HVR-950Q, HVR-1250, and HVR-1950. If you’d like to be considered for *this* beta as we open it up, sign-up for the beta program — link above — and then e-mail matt@ with the subject line “I want to test Beyond TV with QAM”.

SouthPaw: Let me check for sure, but the beta may have our current as-it-stands HD PVR support. Since we like providing a solid it-just-works experience with Beyond TV, it’s difficult to say we support something until the manufacturer releases final drivers and final hardware. Hauppauge hasn’t done that yet for the HD PVR. So we’re waiting for final drivers and product from Hauppauge.

[...] Help us test the latest beta of Beyond TV. Just happened to notice this today. Snapstream has a beta version of BeyondTV that supports recording via Clear QAM. Finally! And I was ready to dump my Hauppauge tuner card back on Ebay. This is exciting news as the occasional signal outages that occur with OTA broadcasts have been forcing me to consider erecting a roof antenna, which carries its own set of challenges. As soon as the Lost season finale is recorded tomorrow night, I plan to install the beta on the DVR. Yum. [...]

Does 4.8.2 correct this problem?:

If so, I’ll be signing up. I can’t use the software because of this issue.

my hd pvr is working with the beta, but in the wizard test is saying, it can’t do the graphical graph. When i try live tv, it work. Is it normal when i pass from small window to full screen or back, there is a 20-30 second delay before the screen is showing, and the same delay when i change channel directly from my digital box, before the image is showing. I have try with another product and the delay is only 3 seconds when switching channel.
Will we have blu-ray recording capacity for HD PVR?
Thank’s
