Meedio Releases First Commercial DVR Application to Record High Definition ATSC, DVB-S, and DVB-T Digital TV Broadcasts
Leading developer of digital home software releases free update to the Meedio TV digital video recorder (DVR) with support for recording standard and high definition digital TV broadcasts from ATSC and DVB sources
Houston, TX (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) August 23, 2005 - Meedio LLC, a leading provider of software for
digital lifestyles released a free update to the Meedio TV digital video
recorder (DVR) software today which adds support for viewing, time-shifting and
recording standard and high definition digital TV broadcasts from ATSC and DVB
sources. Meedio TV is the first commercial Windows® DVR to record digital TV
from ATSC Over The Air (OTA), DVB-S, and DVB-T sources. Meedio TV includes a
free electronic program guide (EPG) and is available at http://www.meedio.com for only
$39.99 with no monthly service fees.
Until now, consumers who wanted to
take advantage of their existing Windows PCs to watch and record ATSC and DVB
broadcasts were forced to have a commercial system builder replace their entire
operating system with Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE). With
Meedio TV, however, users of Windows XP Home, Pro, or MCE can download and
install a standalone application on their existing PC in just a few
minutes.
Meedio supports a number of analog TV tuner devices and expects to
support additional devices with each new release. Today's release adds to this
growing list with support for the following digital TV tuner devices:
• ATI HDTV Wonder
• AVerMedia
AVerTVHD MCE A180
• DVICO FusionHDTV 5
• Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T
• Hauppauge
WinTV Nova-T USB2
• TechnoTrend DVB-S and DVB-T
• VBox DTA 151
Meedio TV is also available as part
of the Meedio Pro bundle for only $79.99. Meedio Pro is a complete digital media
center that enables users to enjoy digital photos, music, movies, TV, news,
weather, and games through a customizable full-screen interface displayed on a
TV and navigated with a remote control. Meedio Pro also includes free access to
the Meedio Add-Ins Directory which contains over 200 third-party themes and
plugins.
