Latest SnapStream PVR App Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the requires-windows-though dept.

martensitic writes "Yahoo! posted this positive AP review of the newest version of a third-party PC app designed to compete with TiVo and Microsoft's Media Center. SnapStream 's 'Beyond TV 3' (sounds like something Fox would produce) allows streaming to standard web browsers for watching on other computers in your home, and promotes automatic commercial break recognition that has been downplayed in other products. (Previously mentioned here.)"

    I found this cool program the other day, but it needed the C standard library... I'll pass for now.

    I had the same gut reaction to .net. Didn't need it for anything else, so why should I be forced to install it now. I'm sure they could do it some other way, but whatever their reasoning... it is what they used.

    I'm old at heart and I just got used to VB ;)

    The feeling wears off after a few days. Don't worry, it will pass.

    Pretty soon, you will crave .net... you needs it... you wants the precious.
