A tipster tells me that Yahoo has started offering Meedio DVR software as a free download to one-and-all, without much fanfare. Isn’t it dandy - that it took just eight days to brand Meedio as Yahoo Go (TV.) (Yahoo had acquired the Meedio technology last week.) Still you don’t say no to freebies, especially ones that are as good as Meedio. Since it is a Windows only product, I have not tested it out. Maybe I will, but not until this weekend."</i><br /><br />The version on the software is 0.1.3.4, so methinks it has a way to go (no pun intended). <a href="http://go.connect.yahoo.com/go/tv/faq">The FAQ</a> has some further details, and unfortunately yet not surprisingly, it's USA-only for now. Anyone feel like taking it for a spin and letting us know what they think?

I would: if it weren't US only and ATSC only. Meedio previously supported (http://www.meedio.com/products/tv/devices/index.html) all three flavours of DVB cards of all sorts (very unlike the "less than 5 DVB-T cards only supported" like WMCE) but now they are all gone?

I just hope Yahoo didn't hit the delete button on the DVB components ... :puppydogeyes:

I hope Yahoo! makes this available for Pocket PCs. If I've got WiFi I should be able to use this and their other products. Their IM product only works with phones.

I was using the combination of Titan TV Program Guide and WinTV2000 as my "free" PVR of sorts. This is definitely a more elegant solution.
