Beyond TV 4.7 is officially out. The latest version of the popular Windows-based PVR software has been in beta for most of the last month. So what's new? A couple of big new features since BeyondTV 4.6 and a few enhancements since we last told you about Beyond TV 4.7.
Updates since Beyond TV 4.6
- Optional plug-in that automatically transcodes recordings to H.264 and syncs them with your iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV using an iTunes RSS feed
- New drive pooling feature lets you make use of multiple hard drives by recording to whichever drive has free space
- Use any web-connected portable device (iPhone, PDA, laptop) as a remote control
- Automatically record top picks from other Beyond TV users
- Optional plug-in for burning DVDs from PCs running Beyond TV Link software.
- Play H.264 videos
- Extend recording time while a job is currently being recorded by hitting the record button and adding the amount of time
- Recover recordings that were interrupted due to power outage or reboot
- Beyond TV Link can now stream live TV for multiple days without stopping, so you never have to stop watching TV. Ever.
BeyondTV 4.7 is a free upgrade for existing BeyondTV 4 users. A full version will cost you $80 if you need a retail package and DVD, or $70 if you download the software from Snapstream's web site.
