Extend Your BeyondTV HTPC With MediaMVP HowTo Article Articles / How To Articles Posted by rampy on Sep 27, 2006 - 09:31 AM Check out this Snapstream blog entry on using Hauppauge MediaMVP with a BeyondTV skin/mod [1] to extend your PVR viewing over your network. "The MediaMVP from Hauppauge [2] is this great little device that lets you get photos, music and videos off of your PC and onto your television. And it’s cheap – only $100. Without any extra work, you can use it to playback recordings made with Beyond TV. All you have to do is just point to the recorded shows directory. The MediaMVP will play your MPEG2 or Divx files. But it’s a less than ideal experience for lots of reasons: * You can only see titles of the video files and you can’t view information like show description, original airdate, etc. * You can’t watch live TV * You can’t delete a show that you’ve already watched * You can’t schedule new recordings or see which recordings are scheduled So with these limitations in mind, a team of us decided that we could create a better interface. We created the open source MediaMVP BTV interface project. With our software, you get something closer to the complete Beyond TV experience (plus some extras like weather and Music playlists!), including access to live TV, and the program guide!" previous coverage of beyondTV & mediamvp [3] and wireless Hauppauge MediaMVP [4] Hat Tip PVR Wire [5] This article is from Build Your Own PVR   http://www.byopvr.com/ The URL for this story is:   http://www.byopvr.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=629 Links in this article   [1] http://blogs.snapstream.com/2006/09/26/how-hauppauges-mediamvp-married-beyond-tv/   [2] http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_info.php/pName/hauppauge-mediamvp-model-1000   [3] http://www.byopvr.com/displayarticle595.html   [4] http://www.byopvr.com/displayarticle599.html   [5] http://www.pvrwire.com/2006/09/26/using-beyondtv-with-hauppauges-mediampvr/
