I submitted this as news, but it apparently wasn’t newsworthy enough! ;D I thought this was a big deal, so I posted it in here. Jere Jones [url=http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?p=299282&postcount=1211]announced[/url] on the SageTV forums that the latest beta of ShowAnalyzer is available. Here’s the lowdown on this highly anticipated update:
[i]I have two announcements:
First:
ShowAnalyzerSuite V1.0 is ready to be beat down by the select adventurous few. I’m distributing the installer in a private forum at http://www.dragonglobal.biz/forums so if you feel like taking it for a spin, send me a PM over there and I’ll add you to the forums where you can download it, try it and give me feedback.
For the not so adventurous, September 1st is release to the world day.
And, yes, it works on HD-PVR streams.
Second:
With ShowAnalyzerSuite V1.0 nearing release to the world at large, the price must increase to cover the higher royalties that the MPEG Licensing Authority requires.
Starting September 1st, the prices will be as follows:
ShowAnalyzerSuite (includes 1 year of upgrades): US$29.98
Maintenance Renewal (one additional year of upgrades starting from purchase date or expiration of current upgrade license, which ever is longer): US$14.99
The September 1st date is dependent on V1.0 being released that day.
As appreciation to the beta testers (not private testers), everyone who has purchased ShowAnalyzer prior to September 1st will get lifetime upgrades.
To cover the next royalty increase, there will be another price increase when I add the ability to actually cut the commercials out of the file. Since ShowAnalyzerSuite will then include encoders, the MPEG Licensing Authority will want more royalties. I am considering making the encoders (thus the higher price) optional, but I haven’t decided yet. Regardless of my decision, it will be considered an upgrade, not a new product.[/i]
I know I’m excited! This is on the heels of [url=http://www.shspvr.com/smf/index.php?topic=11596.15]hearing[/url] that the AC3 support for the HD-PVR is VERY close.
