Live TV (and Radio) Recording and Playback
Always Time-Shift Recording lets you shift out of "real time", watch your programs while PowerCinema continues to record in the background. You can play, pause, stop, fast forward, and rewind while your program is still being recorded.
TV Scheduling
PowerCinema 5 lets you check for program information via Internet and Teletext-based Electronic Program Guides (EPGs). You can then set your programs to be recorded according to the EPG schedule. PowerCinema supports up to 99 preset recording times and saves directly to your hard drive.
PowerCinema supports major EPG services:
- Titan TV in the United States
