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.)"

    And besides, my (here we go again) MythTV box does the same... and also lets me:

    - Play my giant MP3/Ogg collection
    My Xbox does that.

    - Have a slideshow of all the digital photos I've ever taken.
    My Xbox does that.

    - watch DVD's and rip them if they're any good.
    My Xbox does that.

    - play about 40G of movies on command,and share them on my local network.
    My Xbox does that.

    - Have a nice auto-updating weather display, with forecasts and satellite photos.
    My Xbox does that.

    - Read a bunch of RSS newsfeeds
    My Xbox does that.

    All of which is accessible from my remote....
    My Xbox does that.

    and free, if your time is worth nothing ;-)

    My Xbox doesn't do that, but it does play Xbox, PSX, Amiga, SNES, N64, Genesis, Arcade, NES etc games... ;-)
