I Continue to Be Pleased With BeyondTV-4

I continue to be pleased with BeyondTV-4 and it's HD DVR capabilities and performance. I don't know if I mentioned it, but The BeyondTV package included the Snapstream "Firefly" remote control. It's a remote whose receiver plugs into a usb port on the pc then can be used to control several media-based applications. Specifically, I use it to control BeyondTV (I initially used the wireless mouse to control it, but that was somewhat cumbersome). The Firefly works great with the application, making control very easy and intuitive.

The audio/video sync issue that I previously is still with me, but is intermittant - making trouble-shooting difficult. I'm convinced that I'll get it resolved, but it may take a while

Overall, I'm very happy with the solution.

Great blog -- interesting to see someone working on a similar project to mine (http://digitalmusingsonline.blogspot.com). Interesting information on BeyondTV. Good luck!
 
I continue to be impressed with Beyond TV -- It just works. The audio/video sync issue mentioned is really not a sync problem. I use the SPDIF option for digital audio and when I make any change to the configuration, the audio just drops out. I then have to go to analog audio to get the audio back, then switch it to SPDIF and all is well.
