Beyond TV is digital video recorder/media center software for Microsoft Windows produced by the American company SnapStream.
Some of the more powerful and unique functions that Beyond TV offers are SmartSkip, the ability to automatically detect scene changes, including commercials, and then quickly jump between them.
Beyond TV can also be used in a server - client configuration, that allows one computer to host your media and TV tuning capabilities, allowing other computers which are connected to the device via a network to stream this information.
Placeshifting is a technology that allows users with broadband internet connection to stream video from their TV set or personal video recorder forwarded, enabling them to watch anywhere on a computer display device.
While support would remain for the time being, it was no longer available for purchase, nor would it see any further development due to Snapstream's corporate shift of direction.
