Plextor Accounces DivX Certified PVR

The Plextor ConvertX PVR when used with Frey Technologies' SageTV v.2.1 will enable the hardware capture and timeshifting of video content in DivX format.

The ConvertX PVR model PX-TV402U captures and encodes broadcast, cable, or satellite TV onto a computer hard drive. Users can watch, pause, and record live TV, or use an integrated electronic programming guide to schedule recordings with a single mouse click. In addition to encoding programs, movies, and sports events from a TV source, ConvertX also supports capturing home video from such sources as camcorders, DVD players, and VCRs through its built-in composite and S-Video inputs. Frey Technologies makes available the ConvertX PVR bundled with SageTV software. Users may also purchase the Plextor ConvertX PVR directly from Plextor, and buy the SageTV software separately from Frey.
