Here's a quick rundown on the app:
Set-top-box style UI
I wrote this thing so it'll work well from a couch with a remote, rather than a desktop.
It's freakin' tiny.
Weighs in at just a few Mb, Sichbo PVR will not take over your system and bring it to a crawl like some other PVR/TV software that I've seen. This was a key design goal for me and I intend to keep features lean for this reason. I want it to be able to watch/record TV very well, and nothing else.
Full DVR capabilities
Including recording, time shifting etc. You've got to donate to record shows.
EPG Support
Tested on a couple different satellites. You should be able to get a nice guide happening.
Multiple Tuner Support
All channels show up together on your guide allowing easy toggling between two or more devices. You can also obviously record and watch mutliple shows simultaneously if your hard disk is fast enough.
Limited MD API
Sichbo PVR does not officially support the MD API, however it will attach "Agarwal's MDAPI filter" if it is present on your system.
Supported devices:
* MatchBox Pro (100% working and supported, including remote!)
* SkyStar 2 BDA Driver (reported working - no remote for it though?)
People with other devices, please load 'er up and submit a device report so I can try add support it. When you go to add a TV Lineup, it'll say it doesn't detect any supported devices, just click to send your device info to me.
