DVR maker Digeo announces PC-based TiVo competitor

Moxi TV for PC
It's official. There are now almost as many companies making software that turns your PC into a digital video recorder as there are computer users who want their PC to be a digital video recorder.

Last week TiVo announced a partnership with Nero to produce a PC version of the company's popular DVR interface. And today Digeo has announced plans to launch its own PC-based media center software. While Digeo might not be as familiar a name as TiVo, the company produced the Moxi interface used by a handful of cable providers.

Moxi TV for PC will be a full fledged media center application allowing users to schedule and record TV shows up to two weeks in advance. You can also access movies, pictures, music and online media, using a 10-foot interface, meaning the software would run great on a PC in the living room. You'll need a TV tuner for your PC to record and watch live television.

There's no word on the pricing or availability of Moxi TV for PC yet, but Digeo is currently seeking beta testers. You can sign up at their site.

Moxi TV for PC joins a long list of PC-based PVR software ranging from the commercial (Beyond TV, SageTV, ReplayTV PC Edition, CTpvr) to the free (gbpvr, mythtv, media portal).
