Shorts - Links and Quick News Items from the Web

Here's a few short news items and links I've run across in the past few days...

 

Online TV Guides

The useful, ajax-based Online TV Guide Couchville.com was officially taken off line Monday as expected.  The statistics page that shows the most recorded shows (recorded by BeyondTV users) is now located at http://www.snapstream.net/Buzz.aspx.  I covered the Snapstream Buzz site this past October in this post.      via Snapstream Forums

 

Snapstream had decided the time and money to maintain the site outweighed any ad income or synergies it was bringing to Snapstream's Beyond TV.

 

Must Watch TV - Jericho Season 2

jericho10I've been touting Jericho as a must-see television show since I watched the first season earlier this year so it better be good.  That being said, I expect it will continue to be an excellent show that I recommend highly.  It premiers tonight (2/12) at 10pm Eastern on CBS.

 

 DRM Free HD TV from any input on SageTV

Nino Marino posted a guide for HD recording via component input on a Blackmagic Intensity Pro in SageTV.  Nino says:
