Utilizing Microsoft’s Silverlight technology, BeyondTV has a spiffy suprise in the form of Placeshifting. In what equates to a personal You Tube, BTV 4.9 allows you to login to a webpage and have whatever is reocrded to be transcoded and streamed over the internet. This is a little bit of a different approach that Sage chose to use. Instead, Sage decided to keep the UI consistent and have a stand alone client that connects to a client.
