Medusa PVR With 6 Tuners
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 07:15 AM
"We built Medusa here at SnapStream to show off the new multi-tuner capabilities of Beyond TV 3.5. Yes, it's true: some TiVo's and other PVRs let you record two shows at the same time. But how about turning up the volume on that idea? How about recording SIX of your favorite shows at the same time? Well, that's what we set off to create using off-the-shelf computer parts and Beyond TV 3.5."
So here is some competition to the 1-Terabyte Sony PVR PC that was just announced. Granted it doesn't have anywhere close to the 1TB of storage (1 40 GB 5400rpm drive), but it does have 6 Hauppauge TV tuners (as are evident from the photos on their site) and it has a price tag that is significantly lower than that of the Sony's - $1.2K vs. $5K.
