OT: Tolstoy, a little goodie for you...

And a later development...

"...In a bout of shameless self-promotion, SnapStream unveiled its plans for its new version of its "PVR for PC" software, codenamed Quartz. SnapStream makes software that allows users to record TV shows on your PCs, much like Tivo or ReplayTV in the set top box environment. SnapStream uses can play back video on either any PC inside a home network or over the Internet.
A Q&A with SnapStream product manager Alfonso Acosta shows that the company is adding a premium program guide which will cost an as yet-undetermined monthly fee. Also, the new version will allow for instant viewing after a show is recorded. (Previously, users had to wait while it processed and saved a video).

Other features will include a 30-second fast forward button and DivX support.

Of course users need to have a TV tuner card, and sufficient hard drive space in order to use SnapStream. But one cool application is watching your SnapStream shows on your net-connected iPAQ. (Unfortunately, this is another feature that will require a monthly subscription in the new version.)
