BeyondTV Tivo-like PVR

Here's something about which Linlu sent me an email. (Thanks Linlu) BeyondTV is a Tivo-like personal video recorder device that does not require subscription fees. There are pretty good details about it at the BeyondTV site. The user manuals are available as PDF for perusing. It records in MPEG-2, DivX and other formats. Only down side I see if that is for Windows only (XP, 2000) and the FAQ at the site says there no plans for Mac or Linux versions. On the up side, it will work with any Windows machine that have the direct video interface. For notebooks you can get these on PCMCIA or USB cards now. Anyway, this looks quite impressive.
