PVR maker Digeo is seeking beta testers for two new products, an upcoming Moxi set top box, and a media center software package for PCs.

So far Digeo has primarily focused on creating the Moxi software used by cable companies. We knew Digeo was planning to launch a retail box that would compete with the TiVo Series3, and even talked to Digeo CEO Mike Fidler about it last year. But we had no idea Digeo was working on a PC software application. Perhaps the move was spurred by the recent announcement that TiVo was partnering with Nero to provide PC software.

Moxi TV for PC will sport many of the same features as the set top box (which will be called Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR). The means you can watch live and recorded TV, schedule recordings (assuming you have a TV tuner), and access music, photos, and movies.

The software is free while in beta. There's no word on final pricing yet. You can sign up to be a beta tester at Digeo's web site. You can also apply to be a beta tester for for the Multi-Room HD DMR at the same site.
