Last week the guys over at Missing Remote wrote an in-depth and comprehensive review on the latest features of Beyond TV 4.7. Here are some of the highlights:
iTunes Integration:
This feature allows users to automatically sync their recorded shows from BTV to their iphone or ipod.
“Snapstream has done a great job with their initial offering of iTunes Auto-Syncing. Things are straight forward and easy to configure. Once you have configured everything and added the RSS feeds to your podcasts in iTunes, things will pretty much take care of themselves.�
Firefly Mobile:
This new application allows you to turn your iphone, smartphone, or PDA into a remote for your BTV.
“This can be a very handy way to get remote control access to a pc without having to buy an IR receiver and a remote. This could also be useful for those that have a touchscreen setup and want to use the second display/touchscreen to act as a remote control.�
Community Recordings:
Enabling community recordings allows for your BTV to automatically schedule and record the most popular shows as per the Beyond TV user community.
“I think the opportunity for this add-on to shine will be during the off season when I never know what’s decent on tv.â€?
Conclusion:
“With all this new capability, BeyondTV continues to be a strong contender in the Home Theater PC PVR market. If you’re about to build your own HTPC, or you’ve been thinking about trying something different you should definitely give BeyondTV 4.7 a try.â€?
