Complete Hardware/Software HD DVR Solution for the PC!

The all-inclusive ReplayTV Personal HD package includes a powerful, easy-to-install USB 2.0 ATSC/NTSC hybrid tuner that requires no additional power and provides off-air HDTV reception*.

The included remote control provides easy access to the intuitive ReplayTV on-screen interface and all of the system’s powerful search features, and stores nicely in a PC-MCIA slot.

Most importantly, the system’s reliable, easy-to-use software, including useful ReplayTV features such as “overlap manager” and show-based recording, ensures that a user’s favorite shows will be available for enjoying anytime!

Among the many advanced features included in ReplayTV Personal HD are:

• Integrated iPod Support: With the new iPod support, users can watch high-def television via their Apple TV or take programs with them for viewing anytime anywhere via many popular models of the iPod including the iPhone.
• Multiple-Tuner Support: Multiple shows can be recorded at the same time if additional tuners are installed (not included). In addition to the included ReplayTV tuner, ReplayTV Personal HD also supports leading tuners from Hauppauge, ATI, and Pinnacle.
• Smart Channel Guide: ReplayTV Personal HD makes the Channel Guide work for you. You can place your favorite channels at the top of the guide so you can easily and quickly see what’s playing on them. You can always tell what’s being recorded because the time bar features a record indicator so you can plan what else you want to watch or record – with absolutely no guesswork.
• Powerful Search Features: ReplayTV Personal HD makes finding compelling content a breeze. Find your shows within seconds, such as primetime shows, season premieres, and finales. Easily capture shows that feature favorite actors, directors, and genres. ReplayTV Personal HD organizes shows by airing, making it easy and quick to pick your favorite series to record.
• Recorded Shows: ReplayTV’s innovative Recorded Shows screen presents the latest shows you’ve recorded — What’s New — right along with all your episodes grouped by show. This organizing principle makes navigating through hundreds of shows fast and accurate. And when it’s movie night, ReplayTV organizes all recorded movies under one tab.
