Ricor PVRs To Hit Russia · Slashdot Mirror

BlackShirt writes "Mediacenter acts as a digital video recorder, i.e. it enables the viewer to plan his/her future television broadcast recordings. 'Live' broadcasts can also be recorded. Program recordings are stored in the video archive, and the user can playback, delete or unable deleting of recordings (here are some screenshots). I personally like their advertisements more than their product. (Shopping-tv style, wife doesn't allow to watch football, so disapponted husband knocks on his neighbors' door, as they turn their fabulous Ricor TV box from pause to play.)" It looks like this is being marketed to Russian cable companies as an all-in-one portal, since they also include electronic ordering capabilities and "near video on demand"; I wish American PVRs had all these features by default (ethernet, USB, microphone, camera inputs ...)

Sky Digital? by AndyFewt · 2003-08-03 07:51 · Score: 1, Flamebait

This sounds amazingly like a machine that some Sky subscribers in the UK have. Sky plus allows live pause, recording, playback etc etc etc. I can do all this already, but its nice to see this stuff catching on in Soviet Russia
