Taking the DVR Experience Available on a PC to a Whole New Level

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- ReplayTV[R], the pioneer of digital video recording, today released its highly anticipated ReplayTV PC Edition. This next-generation DVR PC software offers TV enthusiasts the Ultimate DVR Experience, empowering everyone to get the most enjoyment out of TV. With lightning-fast and powerful new program search tools, a simple and intuitive interface, smart channel guide, and other planned enhancements, the affordable and flexible ReplayTV PC Edition is ideal for many types of consumers including: people who want a powerful PC-based DVR for their main room; those who want a second DVR available through the PC because the DVR in the living room is in constant use; college students who want a DVR in their dorm room and have limited space and budget, and anyone who just loves TV and wants it on their laptop so they can watch shows on-the-go.

Spend More Time Watching TV, Not Managing Your DVR!

ReplayTV PC Edition DVR provides a breathtaking advance over prior DVR experiences - offering an easy-to-use solution that lets viewers spend less time manipulating and managing their DVR, and more time watching their favorite TV programming.

Standout features and capabilities of the new ReplayTV PC edition include:

* Surprise Me[TM]: This useful feature surprises viewers by automatically recording programming featuring favorite actors, directors and genres.

* Find More: Lets viewers instantly discover other shows and movies that are similar in genre or feature the same actors or directors as the one being watched.

* Useful Searches: A click of the button and you can see a list of "Primetime Shows," "Series Premieres," or "Series Finales." Enjoy romantic comedies? Try searching by genre, movie title, by actors, or even directors!

* Smart Channel Guide: ReplayTV PC Edition's Channel Guide works for you. Place your favorite channels at the top of the guide so you can easily and quickly see what's playing on them. Easily see what's being recorded and plan what else you want to record using the time bar record indicator - with absolutely no guesswork. Just scroll to a show in the channel guide, press record and you're done. Want to record a program for the entire season? Just press the record button a second time. It's that easy. You can also choose whether to record every episode of your favorite shows, or skip repeats and record just the new ones.

* TV Navigation: The new PC Edition offers many of the innovative personal TV features ReplayTV has pioneered over the years, such as one-touch recording and instant replay at the touch of a button (great for watching that awesome catch during a sporting event). You can easily skip 30 seconds ahead with QuickSkip[R], or skip ahead 20 minutes in a program. Additional standard ReplayTV features such as pausing live TV, multi speed rewind and Fast-Forward, and slow motion playback are included.

Compatible with Existing PC Hardware

All the features and capabilities of the software-based ReplayTV PC Edition are designed to run on a user's existing PC hardware with the addition of a TV tuner. You can then watch your shows through your PC's monitor, or if you have the proper connections on your video card, you can connect your PC to your TV.
