Who needs a hard drive? Prolink has announced a tiny new PVR that will record directly to a flash drive. That way you can watch recorded television shows on your TV or portable device.It's hardly a new concept, but it's been a while since we've seen anyone come out with a new flash card-based PVR. In the meantime, flash cards have gotten both larger and cheaper.
Prolink's Pixelview PlayTV (not to be confused with Sony's soon to be released PlayTV PVR add-on for the Playstation3), sports:
- Support for SD cards or external hard drives/flash drives through a USB port
- Preview 9 channels on the screen at once
- XviD encoding
- Schedule recordings or record live TV with one press of a button
- Several profiles including TV, iPod, PSP, PMP, 3GP and several phone settings
- Record and playback videos with resolutions between 160 x 128 and 720 x 480
- Playback WAV/AAC/MP3/WMA music files
- Display JPG/PNG/GIF photo slideshows
- IR remote control

Sounds great. How long before the networks and movie studios take them to court because it's "stealing TV"?
