MoCA, an eSATA port and a single CableCARD slot will carry over, so there's few other penalties in store for those who pass on the XL4 flagship. The new DVR will still require QAM digital cable or FiOS TV for its tuners to sing, but its 500GB of space will likely lead to a significant price cut versus the 2TB-touting XL4 - if also a whole lot of deleted old shows. Thankfully, TiVo has told Zatz Not Funny that a more affordable Premiere 4 option is on the way. TiVo owners who've wanted to record any more than two shows at a time or use more recent technology like MoCA have had to look towards the wallet-busting Premiere XL4, at least if they didn't happen to rely on a cable provider bundling the Premiere Q.

With an Autumn Build of MP2 available "right around the corner" for viewers, it might not be long before we learn what those new additions are like through first-hand experience.Ĭontinue reading MediaPortal posts new beta with new look and CableCARD, teases bigger sequel (video)įiled under: Home Entertainment, Software, HD The clips are largely top-level overviews, but they allude to mobile tie-ins, events, extensions, more skin support, video backgrounds and news. Don't fret if those additions aren't enough, however - we've been given a hint as to what the long-in-development MediaPortal 2 will offer through a pair of videos. CableCARD support also makes its overdue appearance, although the lack of official CableLabs approval keeps the software from recognizing any copy-protected shows. It carries a much more contemporary (and less Windows Media Center-like) skin with minor tweaks to the layout and overall interface. A new 1.3 beta might offer just what home theater PC users have been looking for to keep the front end relevant, at least in the short term.
MediaPortal is a rare veteran spinoff of XBMC - a testament to its fan base, but also a sign that it needs a fresh coat of paint.
