What to enjoy:
Nero’s LiquidTV offers everything that TiVo offers…straight to your PC. It allows viewers to watch live TV on your PC with the TiVo experience, experience all the familiar TiVo functionality, including using a TiVo remote control, export your shows to iPod, PSP, DVD, or transfer shows from your TiVo box to Nero Liquid TV, and burn TV shows to DVD. You’ll need a subscription to TiVo to do all these things but the LiquidTV offers a free 12 month subscription as well as support for HD viewing and timeshifting.
News & Updates:
Variety (4/29/2009): It’s not like TiVo for your PC, it is TiVo for your PC – “To long-term TiVo users, most other personal video recording solutions, whether they’re PC-based or provided by your cable or satellite provider, just fall short. TiVo takes a complex task—recording your favorite TV shows for later playback on-demand—and makes it simple, easy, and even fun. As officially licensed TiVo software for your PC, LiquidTV delivers all the TiVo features you know and love in a PC-friendly software package.” {Read more}
Editor’s Assessment:
An excellent, somewhat inexpensive way to watch television on your computer. The Nero LiquidTV has the same TiVo user-friendly approach (it even comes with a TiVo remote!) and it even allows you to record programs and transfer them to a iPhone or PSP.
