Showshifter does DVB on Windows

On: Latest SnapStream PVR App Reviewed

I understand you are not willing to go with Linux and VDR, the ultimate DVB set-top-box software, but don't loose hope. Showshifter is very similar to Snapstream and supports DVB. I did a quick search on the bulletin board and it seems that there are people using Showshifter on DVB-T in Australia. With a Technotrend (or similar) card you should be set.

One thing to note is that some of these organizations have multiple lists with different aggressiveness levels. I'm only using the safest of them and block roughly 85% of spam at no cost to my employer. How are you blocking 99%? Are you using the more aggressive lists?

I think the main reasons are that I'm in Finland and it's a small server (usually under 5000 messages per week). But anyway, the percentage is correct, maybe even a little bit higher. I'm using bl.spamcop.net, relays.ordb.org and sbl.spamhaus.org and nothing else. No filtering etc. And no false alarms, ever. We are, however, using address masquerading on our website so no harvester can pick the addresses up. Check it out at [jamesthornton.com]

Spamhaus.org is distributed and seems to work just fine. I'm using Spamhaus, Spamcop and ORDB blocking 99% of incoming spam at work.

I use DivX when recording shows from TV (as a replacement to VCR). It's nice to now that I'll be able to watch those Seinfelds and Simpsons without a computer.

If they just would create one with DivX RECORDING in it... I wouldn't need a computer in living room at all. Props to KiSS.
