September 14, 2001 (HOUSTON) - SnapStream Media, a leading edge developer of digital entertainment software, today announced that its TV recording software, SnapStream PVS, will take advantage of new features in the highly anticipated Windows XP operating system. With SnapStream PVS, consumers
can record their favorite television shows in a PVR fashion, and watch those shows anywhere inside the home over the home network, over the Internet, on Pocket PC PDA devices, or on laptop devices. SnapStream PVS creates a digital media experience that lets consumers watch their favorite television
shows anytime, anywhere.
“SnapStream PVS takes advantage of many ground-breaking new features in Windows XP –multi-user capabilities, CD-burning capabilities, new visual styles and stability are all things that Windows XP brings to the table and SnapStream takes advantage of. The result is a next-level
digital media experience for the consumer,” says Rakesh Agrawal, SnapStream CEO and co-founder. “Under Windows XP, SnapStream supports family members making their own private TV recordings and it allows TV shows to be burned to CD for portability and archival. And with the stability of
