The retirement of a blog is sometimes necessary for a constellation of reasons. We at Weblogs, Inc. have honed our network over the past eight months or so in an effort to produce the best overall experience for readers. Doing so requires figuring out how to divide resources that, sadly, are not infinite. <br /><br />But retiring a blog is never about the bloggers, and our hope is always to keep our writers with us in some capacity. In this case, PVR Wire matches up well with <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com">TV Squad</a>, our destination for all sorts of television news and opinion, so the PVR Wire team is heading over there to continue its passionate survey of the PVR industry, its devices, and the joys of personal TV recording. <br /><br />Look for your favorite PVR Wire writers <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pvr-wire/">here</a>. You can grab the URL for bookmarking, and a dedicated RSS feed for your reader, as follows:<br /><br />Bookmark:<br /><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pvr-wire/">http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pvr-wire/</a><br />RSS feed:<br /><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pvr-wire/rss.xml">http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pvr-wire/rss.xml</a><br /><br />Thanks for reading, and thanks to our bloggers (Martin, Brad, Chris, JJ, and Matt) for their amazing work!<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/02/01/pvr-wire-blogging-in-tv-squad/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/746534/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/02/01/pvr-wire-blogging-in-tv-squad/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/02/01/pvr-wire-blogging-in-tv-squad/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-746534"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-746534?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-746534" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-746534&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/02/01/pvr-wire-blogging-in-tv-squad/" /></p>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brad Hill]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-02-01T13:00:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beyond TV Vista compatibility is on its way]]></title><link>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/beyond-tv-vista-compatibility-is-on-its-way/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/beyond-tv-vista-compatibility-is-on-its-way/</guid><comments>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/beyond-tv-vista-compatibility-is-on-its-way/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/tips/" rel="tag">Tips</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/beyond-tv/" rel="tag">Beyond TV</a></p><br />

<p>One of the biggest inconveniences involved with upgrading to Windows Vista is all of the potential software and hardware incompatibilities that may pop up once you are ready to go. As with software drivers, there will also be programs that simply just won't work.</p>
<p>Over at the <a href="http://blogs.snapstream.com/2007/01/31/faq-what-about-vista-support-for-beyond-tv/">Snapstream blog</a> there is a piece which brings to light the specific state that Beyond TV is in with regards to Windows Vista.</p>
<p>The current version of Beyond TV (4.5) is not fully compatible with Vista, but if you hold on, version 4.6 is scheduled to ship "very soon now". This new version will contain a wide variety of bug fixes which will make it fully compatible with Windows Vista.</p>
<p>So if you are a Beyond TV user who is thinking about switching to Vista, make sure you wait for this upgrade to save yourself some hassle. It's good to know that something is in the works.</p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://blogs.snapstream.com/2007/01/31/faq-what-about-vista-support-for-beyond-tv/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/beyond-tv-vista-compatibility-is-on-its-way/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/746162/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/beyond-tv-vista-compatibility-is-on-its-way/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/beyond-tv-vista-compatibility-is-on-its-way/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-746162"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-746162?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-746162" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-746162&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/beyond-tv-vista-compatibility-is-on-its-way/" /></p>]]></description><category>beyondtv</category><category>downloadsquad</category><category>pvr</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt Crape]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-01-31T18:35:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title><![CDATA[ TiVo vs. EchoStar Continues...]]></title><link>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivo-vs-echostar-continues/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivo-vs-echostar-continues/</guid><comments>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivo-vs-echostar-continues/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/dish-network/" rel="tag">Dish Network</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/tivo/" rel="tag">TiVo</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/lawsuit/" rel="tag">Lawsuit</a></p><br /><a href="http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2007-01/tivo-v-echostar-continues/"><img width="180" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="213" border="0" align="right" alt="TiVo in the money" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.pvrwire.com/media/2007/01/tivo_cash.jpg" /></a>You may be aware that TiVo sued Echostar over infringing patents relating to the technology behind its PVRs. <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2006/04/14/jury-finds-in-favor-of-tivo/">TiVo won</a> and the court ruled that TiVo would get $88 million in damages and also Echostar would have to stop selling and using infringing PVRs.<br /><br />Bit it <a href="http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2006-11/tivo-v-echostar-update-part-2/">wasn't over</a> and Echostar appealed and was awarded some breathing space for the time being and then later requested more time to get certain documents together. The case has now got progressively more complex but I've tried to make sense of it the best I can.<br /><br />The U.S. District Court Judge Duffey is now getting very frustrated with Echostar for not getting these documents in on time. It's rare for a court to give a company an extended time for appeal and Echostar is really dragging its heals in the mud and as a result is rubbing the courts up the wrong way.<br /><br />Judge Duffey has now ordered that Echostar must now get the documents together by February 15th. <br /><br />If all this legal mumbo jumbo is leaving your head hurting let me just conclude that the outlook still looks good for TiVo and Echostar is in for a tough ride.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2007-01/tivo-v-echostar-continues/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivo-vs-echostar-continues/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/745715/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivo-vs-echostar-continues/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivo-vs-echostar-continues/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-745715"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-745715?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-745715" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-745715&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivo-vs-echostar-continues/" /></p>]]></description><category>dish</category><category>echostar</category><category>tivo</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Tew]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-01-31T16:21:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title><![CDATA[A DVR in a motorcycle helmet]]></title><link>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/a-dvr-in-a-motorcycle-helmet/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/a-dvr-in-a-motorcycle-helmet/</guid><comments>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/a-dvr-in-a-motorcycle-helmet/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/general-1/" rel="tag">General</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a></p><br /><a href="http://www.americanoffroadimages.com/"><img width="228" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="320" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.pvrwire.com/media/2007/01/supercross.jpg" alt="Supercross" /></a>Whenever you think of a DVR you automatically think of a grey box sitting in your front room hooked up to your TV.

If you're like me your probably thinking "<em>what the hell is a PROM chip?</em>"<br /><br />Well PROM stands for Programmable Read Only Memory and the PROM chip is placed on the <a href="http://www.9thtee.com/insidetivo.htm">motherboard inside your TiVo</a> and contains some pre-loaded basic intelligence. It is this intelligence that contains security to prevent your TiVo from being modified with third party software and hacks.<br /><br />This PROM hack can be done in the following not-so-simple steps:<br />
<ul>
    <li>De-solder the PROM chip from the TiVo motherboard</li>
    <li>If you haven't fried the chip continue...</li>
    <li>Extract the code from the Chip</li>
    <li>Edit the Hex</li>
    <li>Burn a new PROM</li>
    <li>Re-solder the new chip back to the motherboard</li>
    <li>Hope you haven't fried the chip</li>
</ul>
As you can see this is not exactly the easiest hack to do and it is only the first step. The next stage is developing individual hacks to alter the functionality of the TiVo, such as enabling TiVo2Go. <br /><br />If you're technically minded enough and want to learn more then head over to the <a href="http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52620">DealDatabase forums</a> for more info.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/tivolovers/421276.html">TiVo Lovers</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/30/series3-prom-hack/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/series-3-prom-hack-not-for-the-non-techies/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/745688/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/series-3-prom-hack-not-for-the-non-techies/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/series-3-prom-hack-not-for-the-non-techies/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-745688"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-745688?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-745688" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-745688&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/series-3-prom-hack-not-for-the-non-techies/" /></p>]]></description><category>hack</category><category>motherboard</category><category>prom</category><category>tivo</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Tew]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-01-31T13:18:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title><![CDATA[Control your house with your TiVo - HomeSeer TiVo HME Application]]></title><link>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/control-your-house-with-your-tivo-homeseer-tivo-hme-applicatio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/control-your-house-with-your-tivo-homeseer-tivo-hme-applicatio/</guid><comments>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/control-your-house-with-your-tivo-homeseer-tivo-hme-applicatio/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/general-1/" rel="tag">General</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/tivo/" rel="tag">TiVo</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/diy/" rel="tag">DIY</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/home-networking/" rel="tag">Home Networking</a></p><br /><a href="http://www.dvrplayground.com/blog/5/14212/GRHS-Technologies-releases-Home-Automation-TiVo-plug-in/"><img width="200" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="93" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.pvrwire.com/media/2007/01/homeseer.jpg"  alt="Homeseer" /></a>Now this is cool!

You may be thinking this is a little over the top for a Media Center PC unless you want to do gaming. But as <a href="http://crunchgear.com/2007/01/30/okoros-4595-oms-gx300-media-center/">CrunchGear</a> points out, a great feature of Vista is that it works seamlessly with the Xbox 360 controller making living room gaming from the couch much more appealing.<br /><br />Full OMS-GX300 specs and features <a href="http://www.okoromedia.com/model.asp?model=GX300#pcf">here</a>.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://crunchgear.com/2007/01/30/okoros-4595-oms-gx300-media-center/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/oms-gx300-the-4-995-vista-media-center-pc/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/745683/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/oms-gx300-the-4-995-vista-media-center-pc/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/oms-gx300-the-4-995-vista-media-center-pc/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-745683"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-745683?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-745683" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-745683&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/oms-gx300-the-4-995-vista-media-center-pc/" /></p>]]></description><category>mce</category><category>Okoro</category><category>OMS-GX300</category><category>vista</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Tew]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-01-31T09:16:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title><![CDATA[TiVX 5010-P HD TV recorder - Odd shaped diskless, media streaming, Korean HD PVR]]></title><link>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivx-5010-p-hd-tv-recorder-odd-shaped-diskless-media-streamin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivx-5010-p-hd-tv-recorder-odd-shaped-diskless-media-streamin/</guid><comments>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/31/tivx-5010-p-hd-tv-recorder-odd-shaped-diskless-media-streamin/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/general-1/" rel="tag">General</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/reviews/" rel="tag">Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/home-networking/" rel="tag">Home Networking</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/streaming/" rel="tag">Streaming</a></p><br /><img width="266" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="320" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.pvrwire.com/media/2007/01/tivx-5010-p-hd-tv-recorder.jpg"  alt="TiVX 5010-P HD TV recorder" />The new TiVX 5010-P HD TV recorder is one unique and sleek PVR from DViCO. To start off this futuristic grey cylinder does not contain an internal hard drive but requires you to add your own external one via a USB port. <br /><br />I actually quite like the option of being able to add my own external hard drives as it makes for easy upgrades. But wait there's more; this HD TV recorder is more than just a weird looking PVR, it's also a media extender.<br /><br />It can record videos in 1920 x 1080 resolution and stream files to and from a PC in a variety of video formats including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, (VOB, ISO and IFO), AVI, TP, WMV9. It can also send pictures and movies around the house too.<br /><strong><br />Other features include:</strong><br />
<ul>
    <li>An Electronic Program Guide to use on your TV</li>
    <li>ATSC hi-def television tuner</li>
    <li>DVI, component, S-Video and composite video outs</li>
    <li>2x USB 2.0 ports for adding external disk drives</li>
    <li>A third USB port for other storage devices (e.g digital camera, MP3 player)</li>
    <li>fixed 10/100Mbps Ethernet or 802.11b/g WiFi<br /></li>
</ul>
It is currently being launched in Korea and will cost $352.

Kevin Groppe of <a href="http://www.floppyhead.com/">FloppyHead</a> pointed out that if it can run Windows Vista Ultimate (which comes with MCE) it must therefore be a mini Media Center PC.<br /><br />Further more the Model 02 comes with USB support so could get hooked up with a USB Digital Tuner turning the Model 02 into a portable mini PVR. Also the Model 02 has a HDMI output so could be hooked up to any HD TV.<br /><br />Whether this little PC could stand up to the heavy requirements of PVR recording and playing HD content is yet to be seen.

Jarman hopes to be able to build a system that actually censors the language in programs that you are watching through the use of the closed captioning text. When it finds a word that you 'blacklist', the PVR will mute the audio for the duration of the word.<br /><br />Other uses for the PVR will include the ability to lock out programs or channels depending on any number of things like title, rating, station, etc. As pointed out in his patent papers, this would be more versatile than the current V-Chip (does any one actually use theirs?) since you will be able to use your own discretion when it comes to blocking different shows with the same ratings.<br /><br />Although I know I would have no intention of buying one of these, it could potentially be great for public places that have TVs (e.g. waiting rooms, store fronts, etc).<br /><br /><a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070130-8734.html">Found Via.</a><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070130-8734.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/using-a-pvr-for-censorship/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/745252/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/using-a-pvr-for-censorship/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/using-a-pvr-for-censorship/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-745252"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-745252?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-745252" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-745252&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/using-a-pvr-for-censorship/" /></p>]]></description><category>pvr</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt Crape]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-01-30T13:42:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title><![CDATA[Convert your DVR-MS MCE recordings to Xvid, x264 and MPEG-4]]></title><link>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/convert-your-dvr-ms-mce-recordings-to-xvid-x264-and-mpeg-4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/convert-your-dvr-ms-mce-recordings-to-xvid-x264-and-mpeg-4/</guid><comments>http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/convert-your-dvr-ms-mce-recordings-to-xvid-x264-and-mpeg-4/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/microsoft/" rel="tag">Microsoft</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/media-center-edition/" rel="tag">Media Center Edition</a>, <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/category/diy/" rel="tag">DIY</a></p><br /><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.pvrwire.com/media/2007/01/dvrbox-compression.jpg" /><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVR-MS">DVR-MS</a> is a proprietary Microsoft format that is used in Media Center Edition to record videos.

This is the worlds first Dual HDTV Decoder Chip to be manufactured in 65nm Technology which means it can offer lower power consumption and competitive pricing.<br /><br />The STi7200 chip supports HD inputs from HD DVD and Blu-ray formats, as well as high-definition satellite and cable TV standards. The chip is designed to be used in set top boxes, PVRs, and DVD electronics. <br /><br />It will basically allow you to watch HD material on two TV sets, one channel in high definition and the other downscaled on-chip to standard definition. This means you can have a single HD PVR for two TVs.<br /><br />The STi7200 Dual HD chip will be available to consumer electronics manufacturers and priced at $30 in high volume.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/504418/rss>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/sti7200-world-s-first-dual-hdtv-decoder-chip/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/745006/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/sti7200-world-s-first-dual-hdtv-decoder-chip/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/sti7200-world-s-first-dual-hdtv-decoder-chip/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-745006"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-745006?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-745006" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-745006&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/30/sti7200-world-s-first-dual-hdtv-decoder-chip/" /></p>]]></description><category>hd</category><category>STi7200</category><category>STMicroelectronics</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Tew]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-01-30T10:20:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title><![CDATA[Need help with Vista MCE?

Last week the anonymous hacker that goes by the name of muslix64 was <a href="http://www.slyck.com/story1390.html">interviewed by Slyck.com</a><br /><br />This was an extremely interesting interview with muslix64 who sounded like a modest and intelligent character that was more interested in fair rights for the consumer than promoting piracy.<br /><br />The reason that muslix64 started hacking the HD DVD protection was because he wasn't able to appropriately play back a HD DVD film that he purchased on a non-HDCP HD monitor.<br /><br />Interestingly muslix64 also described that the hacking that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Johansen">DVD Jon</a> did to crack the protection on DVDs some years ago, was actually technically more difficult than what he himself did with HD DVD.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.slyck.com/story1390.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/29/hd-dvd-hacker-interviewed/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/forward/744250/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/29/hd-dvd-hacker-interviewed/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/29/hd-dvd-hacker-interviewed/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_66-744250"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/66-744250?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_66-744250" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=66-744250&amp;url=http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/29/hd-dvd-hacker-interviewed/" /></p>]]></description><category>hd dvd</category><category>HdDvd</category><category>interview</category><category>muslix64</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Tew]]></dc:creator><dc:date>2007-01-29T14:33:00+00:00</dc:date></item></channel></rss>
