Beyond TV 3.5 and SnapStream's Medusa PVR
To inaugurate the release of SnapStream's Beyond TV 3.5 (and perhaps also to piss off Sony, whose
Vaio type X costs about five times as much for about as many TV tuners), they've assembled a white-box PC with six Hauppauge tuners and a measly 5400RPM 40GB hard drive. They're calling it the Medusa PVR, and funny as it may be, the $1,200 machine works, and works well. Though it doesn't have 1.5 terabytes of storage, it's still good enough for us in that over the top ridiculously excessive kind of way.
