Set it and forget it.
SnapStream's TV recording engine automates it all.
Toss your remote control aside and let SnapStream take care of business with its best-of-breed digital recording technology. What makes us the best? Let's talk hardware. Our server-class platform is built to succeed, layered with redundant hard drives and dynamic tuner prioritization to ensure that those "mission critical" recordings don't slip. Then sitting on top of its robust TV recording engine, you have SnapStream's user-friendly Web interface—a clear access point for you to adjust each and every gear to suit your workflow. From there, sit back and relax as SnapStream drives on cruise control.
Record TV like a home DVR.
Holding true to our roots in consumer DVR technology, SnapStream feels nice and familiar to the touch. Really, why should working with TV feel any other way? From the electronic program guide, click on the show you want to record and choose from one of the straightforward menu options like, record this episode or record all episodes, season-pass style. But don't be fooled by its outwardly homey nostalgia; SnapStream's full range of capabilities blows away what a regular ole' DVR can do.
Blanket and block recordings.
Whether you need to record four channels, 40 channels or 100 channels, SnapStream can manage it all simultaneously with a nod and a smile. It's no problem to monitor TV around the clock either. You can select to blanket record entire channels on a 24/7 basis, and with a large chunk of time like that, you can splice it and dice it however you prefer to serve it up. For example, the setting to the left will record CNN all day long, dividing the content into one-hour blocks for convenience.
Build a versatile TV library.
Hook up your SnapStream to record all the TV content that's available through your cable or satellite provider: local affiliates, national news networks, learning channels, entertainment shows and miscellaneous reality TV galore. Since you can add tuners and storage at any time as your needs grow, the amount of shows you can record and store is essentially unlimited! Supported TV signals include cable, digital cable, satellite, over-the-air ATSC, QAM, DVB-T and PAL.
Simple electronic program guide.
What makes scheduling a recording so simple within SnapStream? The electronic program guide (EPG) does, because you instinctively know how to use it from your lifetime of watching TV. Grab it. Move it. It's all interactive. SnapStream's program guide data updates daily and provides two-weeks worth of future listings so you'll always have access to the latest broadcast scheduling information. Plus, all of the program guide data flows into SnapStream's TV search results.
Smart priority recording.
SnapStream lets you rank the importance of your upcoming recording jobs, to ensure that your most critical jobs finish to completion as scheduled. In the event of a scheduling conflict or tuner failure, we know you can't afford for anything to slip through the cracks. In designing SnapStream's recording manager, we planned for these possible setbacks and included safety nets to circumvent them. For example, if any individual tuner goes offline, you'll receive an e-mail notification and each tuner will automatically get reassigned to match your recording priorities. That way, #1 always gets done.
Black out recording blocks. NEW!
New to SnapStream 5.4, you can black out specific blocks of time from your 24/7 recording jobs to help declutter your TV archive. Everyone knows that TV stations don't air any content of real interest during the sleeping hours of midnight to 6 a.m. Unless you're in the business of tracking infomercials, you could probably do without this content. The example to the left shows a program guide recording that will span the entire day, excluding midnight to 5 a.m. Removing unneeded time frames can really help save space in the long run! (Note: this new setting can also be applied to 24/7 block recordings.)
