Adds single-click convenience to TV viewing and recording
Sep 24, 2003– Taipei, Taiwan
Computex, Taipei, Taiwan - September 24, 2003 - Compro Technology, Inc. announced availability of Decisionmark Corp.'s TitanTV® Electronic Program Guide (EPG) in its VideoMateT family of TV tuner card and TV tuner box products. Users can now enjoy one-click viewing via TitanTV.com. They can schedule the recording of future programs just as easily. Not only can users effortlessly watch and record, they can customize the guide to their viewing preferences and even search as easily as clicking a mouse. With free membership, TitanTV has well over 200,000 users.
The Compro VideoMate product family features ComproPVR, personal video recorder, software that allows users to watch, record, and timeshift live TV. ComproPVR excels at clear picture quality and flexible scheduled recording, through its Picture Purifying Technology and Power Up Scheduling function. Picture Purifying Technology is a combination of hardware and software optimizations that provide noticeably superior picture quality.
Power Up Scheduling is a unique Compro feature that lets users schedule the future recording of their favorite TV programs and then shut down their PC when they aren't using it, saving electricity and reducing noise. When the scheduled program time arrives, ComproPVR wakes up (starts) the PC, records the show, and then shuts it down again.
"The functionality and convenience of TitanTV and Power Up Scheduling makes the home media PC the entertainment box of choice," said Jack Perry, President & CEO of Decisionmark. "And TitanTV's free guide membership provides VideoMate users with a winning experience," he added.
TitanTV will be available in all VideoMate products sold in the USA. Power Up Scheduling is available worldwide in Compro VideoMate TV Gold Plus and Gold models. Current ComproPVR users should visit the Compro Technology technical support web site for upgrade information. < http://www.comprousa.com/support >
