Got a ReplayTV? Check Out DVArchive

[Jason Dunn]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.dvarchive.org/' target='_blank'>http://www.dvarchive.org/</a><br /><br /></div>"DVArchive allows your computer to act like a "Virtual ReplayTV". You can download shows from your ReplayTV to burn to DVD/VCD, play shows from your ReplayTV right on your desktop (without having to download them first) and play shows that are stored on your computer right from your ReplayTV/TV screen. You can also search TV listing, see what upcoming recordings on your ReplayTVs there may be and access those listings from a web browser or GUI. Among it's more interesting features are:<br /><br />• See what shows your ReplayTV(s) have recorded right from your computer <br />• Automatically finds your ReplayTVs<br />• Download shows from your ReplayTV to your computer to watch, archive, burn to DVD/VCD, etc <br />• Automatic support for Replay 4xxx and 5xxx Series units<br />• Turn your computer into a virtually unlimited capacity ReplayTV show archive <br />• Schedule automatic downloads of shows from your ReplayTV to your computer <br />• Control your ReplayTV remotely (turn it on, off, delete shows, etc) <br />• Manage your ReplayTVs photos <br />• Schedule new recordings on your ReplayTV (ReplayTV 5xxx series only)"<br /><br />I'm REALLY excited about trying out this software with my ReplayTV! :D Any other ReplayTV owners out there? Let me know if you've tried this software before and what you thought of it.

Is this legal?

Is this legal?
The software? Yes. It depends on what you do with it that could make it illegal. I think[i] if you just use it to save space on your device it's legal. And I [i]think if you only watch the show one place and then delete it (or don't watch it again), that's legal, but I'm not sure exactly.

I tried this app awhile ago, but in order to view the video, you have to have another app I think...and that's shareware, not freeware, so it expires after awhile.

Happy Replay user here. Unfortunately, I have a Panasonic Showstopper (equivalent to a 3000 series), so I can't use this software. There are plenty of users on the AVS Forums and they all seem to use this software.
