Meedio DVR update
for recording high definition digital TV
Wednesday, August 24, 2005
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 - August 22, 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
