ReplayTV beta testing HD software

Earlier this year ReplayTV PC Edition went from being the most expensive commercial PVR software on the market to being among the cheapest. ReplayTV may still have some name recognition (the company was one of the pioneers of PVR technology along with TiVo). But ReplayTV PC Edition lacks some of the features of Windows Media Center, BeyondTV and SageTV -- notably HDTV support.
ReplayTV is working to catch up to its siblings in the PC-based PVR market. The company is seeking beta testers for a new HDTV capable client.
It looks like the beta will run through September. Testers will be asked to participate in online forums, answer weekly surveys, and of course submit bug reports. In other words, you'll be expected to work for your free software trial. Or you could just wait until ReplayTV releases a final edition. The current version of ReplayTV PC Edition includes a 30-day free trial, and I'm guessing the same will be true of the HD version.

ReplayTV PC cuts price in half

In one fell swoop ReplayTV PC Edition has gone from being the most expensive PC-based PVR software on the market to becoming one of the cheapest commercial options around. I'd say kudos to ReplayTV if I didn't believe the price drop was prompted by the fact that nobody was willing to pay $100 for the software.Perhaps most surprising is the fact that ReplayTV is actually refunding $50 to each person who has already bought the software.
As we've pointed out in the past, ReplayTV PC Edition does have a nice interface and some pretty advanced search functions, but it was hampered by its high price. Hopefully this announcement will expose the software to a wider audience.
ReplayTV has also released version 1.2 of its software with updates, including enhanced mouse-based navigation.
