With big and expandable hard drives and powerful processors, the PC is a great device for watching and recording high-definition TV. Plus, your PC already has a display that supports high-definition, unlike most of our TVs, so it’s ideal for displaying shows in HDTV. So with the broadcast flag having been struck down this past summer, TV tuner card manufacturers have a renewed interest in making it easy for us to transform our PCs into HDTV PVRs.
Enter Beyond TV. Today, we announced that several leading companies have chosen to license and bundle a Beyond TV (with HDTV PVR technology, of course), with their HDTV tuner card products. These companies and their products include:
- ADS Technology’s Instant HDTV PCI
- KWorld’s ATSC-110, and
- VBOX’s Cat’s Eye USB and PCI products.
All of these new ATSC / HDTV products include special versions of Beyond TV 3 that include our HDTV PVR technology. This is the same great technology for HDTV PVR that will be in Beyond TV 4 when it begins shipping in the next couple of weeks. These new products are a big step forward for HDTV PVR — they are affordable (with prices ranging from $100 to $150), easy to setup and easy to use.
