Missing Remote reviews SnapStream Beyond TV 4.5 and concludes with 4 out of 5 stars that “Snapstream have done a great job of creating a slick, easy to use, and gorgeous interface, along with a more than capable program for any television recording needs. In addition to standard features, they’ve gone above & beyond with innovative (and controversial) features, by including all features with the software. Not to say there’s not a good amount of additional plugins available as well, and even skins, like the BTV to Ipod Video plugin that’ll maybe someday be included by default. My only gripe about this, is that it’s only the TV software. The way it’s integrated into my MCE, I’m guessing they are assuming users will already have MCE for music/videos/photos. If TV is an important requirement, you could do much worse than have to use BeyondTV.”
