It takes time to get over a loss.  Just recently I have been able to go entire days without even thinking about ReplayTV since they stopped making DVRs last year!  In December of 2005, ReplayTV announced a change in strategic direction of producing a DVR for the PC.   So, just when I think I'm over ReplayTV, they announce that they are "Coming To Your PC Early November 2006".

ReplayTV will require the PC to run Windows XP on a P4 1.3GHz machine.  You'll need a decently video card with 128MB of VRAM and a video tuner card.  The ReplayTV software is included with some Hauppauge tuner cards.

The pricing beats TiVo at $99.95 to purchase the software (and one year of service) and an annual fee of $19.95 per additional year.  That's one month of service from TiVo!
