Complete Hardware/Software HD DVR Solution for the PC!

The all-inclusive ReplayTV Personal HD package includes a powerful, easy-toinstall USB 2.0 ATSC/NTSC hybrid tuner that requires no additional power and provides off-air HDTV reception*.

The included remote control provides easy access to the intuitive ReplayTV onscreen interface and all of the system's powerful search features, and stores nicely in a PC-MCIA slot.

Most importantly, the system's reliable, easy-to-use software, including useful ReplayTV features such as "overlap manager" and show-based recording, ensures that a user's favorite shows will be available for enjoying anytime!

Among the many advanced features included in ReplayTV Personal HD are:
[continued]

• Integrated iPod Support: With the new iPod support, users can watch high-def television via their Apple TV or take programs with them for viewing anytime anywhere via many popular models of the iPod including the iPhone.
  
• Multiple-Tuner Support: Multiple shows can be recorded at the same time if additional tuners are installed (not included). In addition to the included ReplayTV tuner, ReplayTV Personal HD also supports leading tuners from Hauppauge, ATI, and Pinnacle.
  
• Smart Channel Guide: ReplayTV Personal HD makes the Channel Guide work for you. You can place your favorite channels at the top of the guide so you can easily and quickly see what's playing on them. You can always tell what's being recorded because the time bar features a record indicator so you can plan what else you want to watch or record * with absolutely no guesswork.
  
• Powerful Search Features: ReplayTV Personal HD makes finding compelling content a breeze. Find your shows within seconds, such as primetime shows, season premieres, and finales. Easily capture shows that feature favorite actors, directors, and genres. ReplayTV Personal HD organizes shows by airing, making it easy and quick to pick your favorite series to record.
  
• Recorded Shows: ReplayTV's innovative Recorded Shows screen presents the latest shows you've recorded -- What's New -- right along with all your episodes grouped by show. This organizing principle makes navigating through hundreds of shows fast and accurate. And when it's movie night, ReplayTV organizes all recorded movies under one tab.
  

Availability and Pricing
ReplayTV Personal HD will be distributed at major online retailers and direct from ReplayTV. It can be purchased for the suggested retail price of $99.95., which includes a ReplayTV high-definition USB tuner with dual tuner support.

So it works with over-the-air and analog cable only. Definitely an interesting offer for someone using an antenna, or as a backup or secondary recording option. Of for someone who transfers a lot of recordings to iPods - not sure why you'd record HD for an iPod, but....

What is it?
RTVConvert Admin (RTVCA) is a freeware Windows XP/2000 application that helps ReplayTV 5K users who use Dvarchive (DVA) and a video editor ( e.g. to remove commercials) and wish to bring these edited videos back into DVArchive.

What does it do?
After the user has edited the mpeg(s) with a video editor (Womble, VideoRedoPlus, etc.), the following process is automated:

1) Run rtvconvert on all edited videos with a filename ending with _CUT, sending the output .mpg/.ndx/.evt files to a specific directory, either:
a) DVArchive Local Guide, if the matching xml was found
b) User specified path which will hold files to be imported by DVA, if the matching xml was not found.
- The destination files will end with a _rtvcvrted suffix.

2) Delete the post-edited, rtvconvert-source mpg.

3) Delete or Backup (user option) the original, unedited .mpg/.ndx/.evt/.xml files.

4) Modify the matching DVA .xml file (if found) to insert the new filename and proper time in seconds.

5) Rename the original .xml file to match the rtvconverted mpeg file name.

Love to see new tools created for Replay users!

We're hearing rumors, but if you've got tidbits to share, [email=admin@planetreplay.com]let us know[/email]. Mon, 03 Apr 2006 06:23:05 GMT
