I just hope snapstream does the right thing for the current customers of Beyond TV.

The "right" thing is pretty subjective thing, however Snapstream have shown a level of attention to the needs of their customers that is quite high in the software industry (a bad mark on support maybe, but we'll help if we can).
I have no doubt they will do the "right" thing, but honestly I don't think that when I bought a PVR solution (not a MEDIA CENTER or a HTPC front-end) I expected it to do other non-PVR functions for free.
Media Center is not a competitor of BTV, it is a competitor of BTV/Beyond media/IR200L/Firefly solution.
I mean that MCE is a front-end, with a PVR, and so on.
BTV is a PVR.
BTV was never sold as anything else than a PVR only.
Price both solutions, even making high assuptions for Firefly and Beyond Media, and compare functions: Snapstream's answer compares quite favorably.
