[QUOTE="FullMoon, post: 6077, member: 10445"] Here are the main features from Beyondtv that I look for. I have not fully explored the tv plugin and I will (right now I'm busy trying to clean up my recipe categories). COntrol directv receiver - I use a serial cable, if I buy an IR blaster it will be myblaster, probably USB. Downloading directv channel guide - I tried unsuccesfully using xmltv importer, but I'm sure the second go around will be more successful since I sortof know what I'm doing now. Ability to search for movies by title (at least a two week program guide) Ability to view/record multiple inputs - I have an AIW and a pvr250, each has antenna through coax and svideo from satelite. I can record two shows simultaneously, and have local channels assigned to coax and satelite to s viseo, two gudes, four inputs, two cards. THey have a bunch of streaming functions which honestly I can live without, streaming livetv over a wifi to my pocketpc was nice. Show padding - ability to add an extra minute before or after a show, and ability to individually edit shows for input, padding, quality. And of course adjustible qualities for recordings (higher quality for high action, etc) THey have a show conversion that I never use (showsqueeze), they also have a smartchapter that recognizes most (not all) commercial breaks and makes an xml file so you can skip commercials with one click. Manual record, a setting to record within the next 30 days, ability to record all episodes or all new episodes, integrated conflict management to reschedule recordings if they are missed or if a higher priority recording conflicts (oh yeah, recording priorities) Sortable shows (episode, folder, etc) in recorded show section. That's about it for now. you got any others Wheemer? Here are a few things they don't have which I've been asking for Closed captions recommended recordings ability to prioritize inputs, so it only uses the AIW for recording if it absolutely has to improved playback - there is tearing with high action in their player, doesn't show up in other players for same resolution. So, when I get some time over the holidays, I will start playing with the tv module and provide better feedback. I plan on using btv and MP for a while, but will do what I can to help with the MP tv module. [/QUOTE]
