Maximum PC Magazine rated this PVR software as the best for PC in September 2006. It requires Win 2000 or XP, a TV tuner card, 700 Mhz processor (1.7 Ghz for HD), 256 MB RAM (512 for HD), video card, DirectX 9, 15 GB HD, and Service Pack 2 for HD.

Another great feature of Beyond TV is its free integrated program guide. With this guide, you can easily schedule your recordings in advance, ensuring that you never miss an episode of your favorite show.
When it comes to recording, Beyond TV gives you a lot of options. You can choose to record once, all or new episodes, depending on your preferences. Plus, if you want to save your recordings to DVD, you can do so with the optional DVD Burning & H.264 Plug-in.
But don't just take our word for it. Maximum PC Magazine has called Beyond TV "the best PVR software we've tested for the PC." So why not give it a try and see for yourself?
