Beyond TV 4 is coming

[timisme]

Will current subscribers have to pay for the upgrade?

Yes, they announced it in the blog in the 7/26 entry:

Hmm, I hope this is a free upgrade since I bought 3.7.4 last night.

This is a quote from the blog,
"Anyone who purchases Beyond TV 3 starting today through the Beyond TV 4 launch will get a free upgrade to Beyond TV 4 when it releases. We haven’t finalized the upgrade pricing for existing users just yet, but we will have more information closer to the launch."

Like so many others I will have to pay for the upgrade but I don't have a problem with that. IMHO, this product is worth it. You have to give it the attention it deserves. It seems to me that any HTPC/PVR project using BTV requires patience and TLC to get it to work, but once it's working properly, boy is it great!

I have to also say that the assistance provided by the members of this forum is the main reason I've gotten my system working. The energy and frustration during the setup phase has been repaid ten times over now that our family can control what we watch and more importantly when we want to watch it.

BTW, I seem to notice a lot more NEW users on this site lately, was there some kind of big sale or marketing promo I don't know about?

There was a sale where you could get the firefly remote for free with a valid purchase of BTV 3.

Hmmm yeah I did notice that deal on their website the other day. I actually purchased this product here in Canada for $54.95 plus taxes which I think is very good considering Snapstream is selling it for 69.99 I think??

I think I am currently using a Trial version and if and when that runs out, will more than likely install my new software.

Cheers
