Always a great guest, Howard returns to the show to talk about the recent announcement from Plextor that gives users the power to use the PC as a PVR and maximize quality and space with MPEG-4 and DivX Hardware Compression. The PX-TV402U with Built-In TV Tuner increases the usability of the PC as a complete entertainment center with the ability to capture favorite programs from Broadcast, Cable or Satellite signals in MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 and DivX. Like the features of the popular set top boxes, users can record, pause and playback live TV!

The downside to many of the set-top box solutions is the cost per month of a program guide. With the ConvertX Plextor PX-TV402U the program guide is integrated into the web from Titan TV, No Monthly Fees! A positive to the PC solution for PVR is once a program is recorded, it can be easily transferred to CD or DVD for watching in most standard DVD Players. If a program is encoded in DivX, that show can me watched on any certified DivX hardware device including many portable media centers.

We discussed with Howard on the technology behind the product and how it integrates with the PC. We also talked about the benefits of DivX and the system requirements for the PC to run the Plextor PX-TV402U. Tune in for More Information.
