Go Go Gadget: Beyonwiz

I went crazy just before the Tour De France and bought the Beyonwiz 'media centre' box. It replaced the set-top box ( for receiving digital TV), the VCR and the DVD player. It also will play movies downloaded from the internet, podcasts, music and display images from our PC's, via the WiFi network we have. It also allows you to 'pause' live TV and do all that PVR timeshifting stuff, including jumping 10 seconds forward and backward in a show.

It's a great box that's working well. I'm still using the IceTV guide, so at a push of a button I can see what is on for the next few hours, or days, and then record them for watching at a later time.

So I manage to catch more show's I'm interested in, and can skip through the commercials I don't like.
