The TV in Beyond TV - Recording & Program Guide (continued)
Selecting "view upcoming episodes" lists all the episodes for that channel.

Keep in mind that if a TV show is on two channels, then there will be two separate listings for it. Whether it is a new episode or a re-run, it will be mentioned in the brackets within the episode description.

Each of the three recordings schemes in the program guide have their own icon to help tell one apart from the other. If only one specific episode of the TV show is scheduled for recording, "1" indicates the show on the program guide map. "N" designates that only the new episodes will be recorded and "A", all. If an icon has a slash through it, it means that it will not be recorded, either due to a recording conflict, manually designated to be not recorded (for new or all recording schemes), or because it isn't a new episode.

as a Sagetv user I'm pretty miffed they didn't compare the two. Sagetv 2.0 has a really nice new interface, handles multimedia (pics, mp3z, movies, dvds including vob files) pretty well, has multituner support, and better image quality of viewed tv (I demoed both before buying sage). Since tv is what it's all about, the picture quality is what's important to me.reboos - Thursday, May 13, 2004 - link

When will I be able to record Soprano's in HDTV on HTPC???mcveigh - Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - link
I think you should consider comparing it to tivo/replay as I think this is more what it is aimed at replacing.also I would like to see more info about multile tuners.
how about a shoot out of personal video software in the future?
SnapStream vs. sage TV vs. windows MCE vs. ????

Wonderful review. Looks like a very robust piece of software. If I was in the market to build a HTPC I'd probably buy it. From what I see, I like the information windows... they have a little bit too much info, but at least they're transparent so you can still see the show... unlike Comcast the last time I paid for digital cable.llamas - Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - link
Are you considering a review of SageTV 2.0 (just released)? It would interesting to hear how it compares with BTV3. SageTV supports multiple tuners, and has client software with the same interface as the server.
