| | PCWorld.com - SnapStream's Beyond TV 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | SnapStream's software has long been tops in turning a PC into a device for digitally recording television, and Beyond TV 3--the latest update of the SnapStream package formerly known as Personal Video Station--continues that streak, although it still feels a bit rough around the edges. |
 | | Installing Beyond TV 3 itself didn't go as smoothly, owing first to a driver problem and then to my lack of a DirectX 9-compatible graphics card (a requirement left out of my setup guide). |
 | | New to the software are SmartSkip, which attempts to identify commercials on recorded programs for easier bypassing, and ShowSqueeze, which lets you compress recordings further for archiving or for transfer to a handheld. |
