Here's something I thought was impossible to do. A number of you asked me if there was a way to record the broadcasts available with programs like PC Show Buzz and Satellite TV for PC. And I thought it would be really difficult to do.

Well, I got a pleasant surprise when I started looking for a good tool to do this.. I stumbled on a bit of software called WM Recorder and thought I'd give it a try. I've got to tell you this software is very impressive.



It lets you download online TV programs direct to your computer. The files are saved as regular movie files you can catalog, keep and view at any time in media players like Windows Media Player. There's no loss in audio / video quality and you can even schedule WM Recorder to record at a set time.

There's been a number of attempts over the years to bring your PC and your TV closer together but the two never seem to make convincing bed partners.

Things could be set to change however with UK company Elonex's exciting new PC TV range. Any gadget lover will be forgiven for drooling on their keyboard at the sight of the sexy new Lumina media center.



It offers a high power PC along with a 32" HD wide screen LCD display. Everything's connected wirelessly so there's no cables hanging around to spoil the sleek, ultra-cool design.
