After seeing SageTv has a network Encoder and native clear-QAM there is no reason to stick with BeyondTV. I was one of the first supporters of BeyondTV all the way back to version 2. Snapstream really pissed me off when they didn't intergrate BeyondMedia into BeyondTV. Its silly to have two different products. BeyondTv used to be the best PVR software out there. Now I'm beginning to think SageTV has beaten them. Yes the GUI looks better then Sage but who cares what the GUI looks like when you watchTV. Right now I want features that should have been but in the software over two years ago. Instead they developed useless plugins like DVD burner and H.264 which should be included anyway. Honestly if I want to encode a DVD or use H.264 there are much better software than BeyondTV. Yes its convenient but how often did I use them, never. I closely monitor the PVR software seen and played with them all. I originally went with BeyondTV because of its features but I can tell you right now I'm not spending another dime with SnapStream the way it is right now. I can honestly say that most of the PVR softwares have matched or surpassed BeyondTV features.
