PVR-250 and Beyond TV

[beric3236]

After purchasing Beyond TV, I broke down a purchased a Happauge PVR-250 and much to my supprise on the install disk it had a folder for Beyond TV - my question becomes is it a full blown version or is it a 21 day try and buy version. It it is in fact a full blown version more power to SnapStream

I will be buying another PVR-250 so that I may watch one program while recording another. What a kick. The reason I do not install the one on the disk is that I already have a copy of 4.0 on the system I put the card into. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's not a full version of Beyond TV. It's either the trial version or a "for Hauppauge" version of Beyond TV that they were bundling at some point a long time ago. Across the board, I believe, Hauppauge now bundles the trial version of Beyond TV.

The "for Hauppauge" version of Beyond TV was something that didn't expire, but it also had most of Beyond TV's features stripped out (no program guide and associated features, for example). And the upgrade pricing from "the Hauppauge" version to the full version was the same as the trial to full price. And now, in addition to being stripped down, the "for Hauppauge" version is way out of date too. :-)

So my recommendation is, stick with the Beyond TV 4 that you already have.
