Record TV Programs with Pocket PC?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi there folks,

I am new to the Pocket PC world. In fact I have recently purchased my
first. I am just waiting for delivery of my IPAQ 2210(2215). I have been
doing a tonne of reading about what these babies are capable of and I
recently stumbled across an article that was talking about a new product for
the Sony Clie that allows the recording of TV directly onto a memory stick
that is, in turn playable on your CLIE.

Its like Pocket Tivo!
The product is called "PEGA-VR100K"

Well it sounds interesting, but since I have an IPAQ on the way it doesn't
really do much for ME. So I was wondering if any of you folks know of a
similar product, or perhaps have heard about one coming out soon?

thanks!
Rob

Another option might be the Panasonic DMR-E100 HDD/DVD recorder, it has an
SD slot (and a PC-Card slot for CF etc) and can record to MPEG4 and copy to
SD. I should try it on my E-100 and plyback on my Ipaq 3970 but
haven't...yet...

I use snapstream beyond TV www.snapstream.com on my desktop, records and
capture tv shows automatically, I can choose what format and quality
settings, it will even automatically re-encode programs captured at higher
quality settings for use with my pocket pc while I sleep. for example, I
was out last night and missed the Sopranos (I know- hard to believe) but It
automatically recorded it at my default 640 x 480" 512kbs profile and while
I slept re-encoded a second copy at 320" x 240" @ 180 kbs, which I threw on
my sd card before leaving for work, and I now can catch up on the show I
missed while at lunch today.
it is a little pricey, but does everything TiVo can and much more !!!
Great Product !
