TV Tuner And TV-on-Demand
The TV tuner is controlled through the WinDVR software. The quality is good, the search for the channels goes fast, and storing them to memory is simple.
As far as functionalities go, a channels mosaic mode is available, but results in an increased use of resources. Also, you can do captures in BMP format at 720x576.
You can also program the date and time of recording, just like on a regular VCR. However, teletext display is not yet supported.
The TV-on-demand functions (Timeshifting) are executed through the MPEG encoding techniques of WinDVR. With timeshifting, a TV program is played with a slight delay, while it is still being recorded. This technique works well with WinDVR and is fun to use. However, you need more than a five-second delay to activate timeshifting.
