Rogers Cable Releases High-Definition PVR for Canadians
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 07:00 PM
"Rogers Cable Inc. will be offering a high-definition personal video recorder (HD PVR) in Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland to Rogers Digital Cable customers. The Scientific-Atlanta Explorer 8000HD PVR digital terminal features a dual tuner (which allows you to watch your favourite recorded show, while recording two other shows at the same time), pause, rewind and instant replay live television, and record up to 20 hours of HDTV programming or 90 hours of regular television programming. With the picture-in-picture feature, customers can watch and record one show at the same time and see another show playing in the corner of the television screen."
Considering the lack of options people in Canada such as myself have for PVR solutions, this announcement is a big deal. ;-) Too bad there's no option for Albertans such as myself. My own PVR experiment with Snapstream's BeyondTV is going fairly well though, which gives me hope.
