ReplayTV Personal HD Rolled Out, Has iPod and iPhone Support

2:00AM Charlie White | As we predicted on Monday, ReplayTV rolled out its Personal HD today, a USB tuner dongle that we’ve confirmed is a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-950 modified especially for ReplayTV. It’s the software that makes this product unique, giving you the ability to convert those videos you record on your PC to formats that will play back on Apple TV or any of the video-enabled iPod/iPhone products. To take advantage of its multiple tuner capability, though, you’ll have to add another tuner to your PC to complement the one inside this USB dongle. Also keep in mind that its tuner snags HDTV signals over-the-air, so if you don’t have good TV broadcast reception in your area, the ReplayTV Personal HD is not going to do you much good. Price for the software and hardware will be $99.95, and the company didn’t say exactly when it would become available, but said it would be sold at online retailers and direct from ReplayTV. More »

Scoop: ReplayTV Personal HD to Roll Out Wednesday

12:35AM Charlie White | ReplayTV? We thought you were dead! Again. But no. An anonymous tipster sent us this shot of the upcoming ReplayTV Personal HD, a USB dongle that lets you watch and record HDTV on your PC, giving you that so-called “living room experience” of which we are all so fond. We hear there are some other really cool features inside this tiny thumb drive, too. To be introduced at an event this Wednesday, this little bauble reportedly brings a few new features to compete against similar USB-based HDTV tuner/PVR devices from Pinnacleand AMD, with such enticements as multiple tuner capability and enhanced search features. We’ll know more on Wednesday. More »
