Snapstream Delivers TV Viewing Freedom To Colleges Across The U.S.
SnapStream Personal Video Station Software Brings TV Recording to Student PCs, Now Available for Review.
February 07, 2002 (HOUSTON) - SnapStream Media, a leading developer of digital entertainment software, today announced the release of its next generation television recording software, SnapStream PVS (Personal Video Station) 2.0. SnapStream represents a significant performance
breakthrough in PC-based television recording and offers anywhere, anytime recording and viewing to university students across the United States. First featured in Bill Gates' keynote at the worldwide Microsoft Windows XP launch, SnapStream PVS 2.0 is low-cost, easy to install and use, and
brings ultimate flexibility and convenience to television viewing and student schedules.
SnapStream lets a college student record favorite television shows, and then watch those shows anywhere on campus - from a friend's dorm room, in the computer lab across campus, on the wireless network in class, or from any device on the campus network.
"SnapStream is ideal for people who are frequently at their computer - or who rely on computing devices as a mainstay of their daily activities. Now, students can hook up their PC to their dorm room cable connection, record their favorite TV shows, and then watch those shows from anywhere
on campus. If a student finds himself in the computer lab at 2:00 a.m., he can take a break and catch up on the latest episode of 'The West Wing' or 'The Simpsons.' It's simple, it's inexpensive - and it fits the hectic and varied schedules common in the university
lifestyle," said Rakesh Agrawal, CEO and co-founder, SnapStream Media Inc.
SnapStream PVS, designed to record television for access on campus networks, home networks, PCs or Pocket PCs, is a low-cost consumer entertainment application. SnapStream allows users to record favorite television programs for anywhere, anytime viewing on portable devices such as laptops or
PDAs. In contrast to expensive, dedicated hardware devices, SnapStream is an inexpensive add-on to the existing home PC, and enables and embraces the connected home paradigm by bringing television recordings to any network device.
The latest version of SnapStream PVS is now shipping - college technology or news editors interested in product reviews should contact the company at pr@snapstream.com.
