What is nextPVR?

NextPVR is a free and versatile personal video recording application for Microsoft Windows that simplifies the process of watching and recording live television. At its core, the software provides an intuitive Electronic Programme Guide, enabling users to conveniently view, pause, and schedule recordings of their favorite shows. Beyond live TV functionality, NextPVR also facilitates seamless playback of DVD content, music, videos, and photos stored on the user's PC or accessible across the home network. The application's multi-client support, including compatibility with thin client devices like the Popcorn Hour, allows users to distribute their media experience throughout the home. Furthermore, NextPVR can be accessed remotely via a web interface, empowering users to manage recordings and stream media on-the-go using a PC or compatible mobile device. The software's extensibility is enhanced by a growing range of plugins that provide additional features, such as weather updates, internet radio, and RSS feeds. Users can also customize the look and feel of NextPVR by selecting from the available skins
