Meedio has announced the availability of the latest product in their line of digital home software. Meedio TV is a digital video recorder (DVR) application that runs on Microsoft Windows XP computers and uses a TV tuner to enable users to watch, pause, rewind, and record live television broadcasts in the fashion of XPMCE.

Meedio TV also includes a free subscription to an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) which allows users to browse, search, and schedule upcoming broadcasts up to ten days in advance. Meedio TV is available immediately for only $39.99 at http://www.meedio.com/.

Meedio TV is built on the award-winning Meedio platform which also powers the popular Meedio Essentials digital media center. Meedio TV can be used on its own or seamlessly combined with Meedio Essentials to enjoy digital photos, music, movies, news, weather, and games as part of a complete Meedio Pro bundle. Both Meedio TV and Meedio Essentials can be operated with a remote control and connected to a standard TV or HDTV for a true home theater experience. Meedio Pro is also available at the company's website for only $79.99.

By using standard PC hardware, Meedio TV is nearly limitless in its expandability. Additional features of Meedio TV include:

* View and record from multiple tuners at the same time with no additional fees.
* Search and browse programs by time, channel, title, keyword, cast, or any custom-defined categories.
* Record from a direct video input or from external cable and satellite boxes.

* Easy on-screen setup wizard.
* Seamlessly combines with Meedio Essentials to provide a fully customizable interface to digital photos, music, movies, news, weather, games and over 200 application plugins.

All Meedio TV and Meedio Pro customers will also be eligible for free upgrades to upcoming releases that include planned support for HDTV, DVB, remote tuners, and a web interface.
