Full Review - Conclusion
The Diamond XtremeTV PVR600 Power Pack could be a great product if they had included an IR Blaster and a full version of Beyond TV. As it stands, this package lacks too much for us to recommend it highly. Half the features advertised are disabled after 60 days, and during setup you have to specify which IR Blaster you are using. In addition, you will have to use three USB ports to get that sweet television lovin' on your PC. However, once you have a working setup, the Snapstream software is a great choice for viewing and recording TV, the picture quality is very good, and the system is stable. Pros: - Windows Media Center compatible - Compact size - Three inputs Cons: - Uses three USB ports, - Missing hardware and software - Does not support HDTVConclusion
