Automatically Sync Recordings to iPod and iPhone (Optional Plug-In) – This is an innovative feature that uses the H.264 format to re-compress your Beyond TV recordings and sync them to your iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV. Using an iTunes podcast rss feed you can now automatically sync your television recordings to your iPod or iPhone. With the recent split between NBC and iTunes (see previous post) this feature will serve as a new outlet to get your recordings on to your iPhone or iPod without a hitch.

 

It’s here! We’ve been working hard improving the features and eliminating the bugs in our latest version of our Beyond TV software. The key features in Beyond TV 4.7 include the following:

Drive Pooling – If you are worried about running out of space for your recordings this feature will calm your fears. Beyond TV 4.7 lets you treat a group of hard drives as one recording folder. It will automatically manage and distribute the content you have recorded. So go out and grab a 1TB external hard drive ($335 @ newegg.com), plug into your home theater PC and instantly expand how many TV shows you can record!

Firefly Mobile – Now you can use your Smartphone, iPhone, or other web device as a remote control for your Beyond TV.

Community Recordings – When enabled, this feature will automatically record the top shows each day as reported by Beyond TV Buzz. ( An extra on our TV listing website, couchville.com, is Beyond TV Buzz; it posts the top recorded episodes of our BTV users.)

Beyond TV Link DVD Burning (Optional Plug-In) – Just like you can burn DVDs on your Beyond TV Server you can now do the same using Beyond TV Link.

We’ve also improved some of the existing features in Beyond TV 4.7:

  • H.264 playback is included in all copies of Beyond TV 4.7
  • Extend the recording time while a job is currently being recorded by simply hitting the record button and adding the amount of time needed (up to 3 hours). So, if the football game goes into overtime, you can just lengthen the recording time and you won’t miss a thing.
  • We’ve improved the Record This Timeslot Recording option by adding Record Only on This Day as an option
  • Recover recordings that might have been interrupted due to a power outage, machine reboot, etc.
  • An Internet Explorer user? Now you can download files greater than 2GB in size without breaks.
  • We now have support for multiple USB-UIRT devices.
  • Beyond TV Link can now stream live TV for multiple days on end without stopping.

So, here’s to crossing the finish line! Beyond TV 4.7 is new and better than ever. If you have already purchased the DVD Burning plug-in you get the new plug-in, with H.264 support for free! Just upgrade to Beyond TV 4.7 to get the new version of the plug-in. For a complete detailed list of features, improvements, and bugs we worked through take a look at the release notes.
