Anyone ever tried NextPVR?

Just curious. . .I saw Hauppauge was listing them as a 3rd party software group like Sage used to be. . .

Reminds me a bit of BeyondTV from back in the day, be curious to try it out. . I don't think it supports the HD-PVR though (or serial tuning), but I may need to dig further. . .

You know, just in case someone pulls the plug on us. . . :P

Actually although the author and the community are the same, NextPVR was a complete rewrite, to build it to be more suitable for the digital transition. The rewrite started in early 2010, and the first year was pretty rough and I thought about moving to SageTV, but I am glad I stayed. The release yesterday is really pretty nice and worth a look, especially if you think it is just GB-PVR.

Here's the changelog for the last 4 months, http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.p...927#post438927 One thing I find pretty amazing is the PIP support, and yesterday I was streaming two live 1080i streams of the Olympics ATSC and HDPVR without issue.

One thing nice about an active product (which you might remember) that shouldn't be laughed at is that it steadily improves based on community suggestions and technology advancements.

But there still are no extenders, at least new ones. NMT's are really made anymore, and nothing(that I know of) has come along to replace it in NPVR land. I would look at it again if it could support even something like a hacked ATV, or Roku box, something...

I've written a few clients since NMT, but so far all of them have had too many limitations to bother continuing. It's getting closer, I'm pretty sure anything that can run XBMC is a potential.
