ExPVR V3 - New UI and Experimental Pre-Darwin Support

ExPVR version 3 contains a completely redesigned user interface which brings together all of the previous tools (the planner viewer, format and copy wizard and diagnostic tool) into one application. Experimental support for pre-darwin systems (Sky+ and Sky+ HD Thompson) has also been added, along with various bug fixes.

Pre-Darwin Support
The new pre-darwin planner support is currently very experimental as I do not have any of these systems to test with. Pre-Darwin to Darwin copies will not work yet as they would require a planner conversion which is not currently supported.

-------------------
Added - New user interface built in WPF
Added - Experimental legacy planner support

ExPVR Version 2 Release

The time has now come to remove the beta tag from ExPVR 2! I would like to give out a huge thanks to everyone who has tested the beta version, without your help getting ExPVR to the stage it is now would not have been possible.

ExPVR version 2 brings the release of the "Format and Copy Wizard" which allows you to copy between Sky+ HD hard drives. Using this wizard you can upgrade your Sky+ HD box to a larger capacity without losing any of your recordings. ExPVR also allows you to easily upgrade to disks above 1TB (up to a maximum of 2TB) which was previously difficult to achieve for Darwin version Sky boxes. There have also been many bug fixes and performance tweaks which should make ExPVR work even better than before.

The new version can be downloaded for free from http://www.ph-mb.com/products/ExPVR/downloads, the free version includes all the features of the Format and Copy Wizard.

ExPVR V2.0 Pricing

When the final version of ExPVR V2.0 is released there will be three versions:

ExPVR Free
This will include all the features of the Copy & Format wizard (allowing you to copy between Sky+ HD hard disks) along with a limited demo version of the recording extractor (Allowing you to extract free to air recordings so they can be viewed on your PC). The recording extractor will be limited to extracting the first 200Mb of each recording, in the same way as the current demo version.

ExPVR+
This will cost the same as ExPVR does now (£7.99) and include the full functionality all of the applications.

ExPVR Commercial
This is for people who want to use ExPVR for commercial use (making a profit from its use, e.g. providing a disk copying service). The price of this version will be available by contacting us and stating your planned usage.

The free and + versions are for personal use only.
