Beyond TV 4.8 gives you more control over your recordings

Snapstream has released an update to its Beyond TV personal video recorder software for Windows. Beyond TV 4.8.1 doesn't have any spectacular new features like CableCard support, but it does have a few useful tools for configuring, scheduling, and playing TV recordings. Here are a few highlights:

• Frame by frame playback (hit pause and then use the arrow keys)
  
• Save searches and have Beyond TV email you next time a program fitting your criteria is on
• Receive warning notifications via email
• Create user accounts and establish different access levels for each
• Recording stats screen (shown above) with detailed system info
• Sort your library of recorded shows by name, original air date, or date recorded
• Speedier recording scheduler

Beyond TV 4.8.1 is available as a free upgrade for existing customers. A full version of the software will set you back $70.
