SageTV Media Center, a personal video recording (PVR) and media center software package for Windows and Linux PCs, has added new features that include bringing online video to the TV, support for the global DVB broadcasting standard, the ability to play unencrypted DVD libraries on the TV with SageTV Media Extender, and expanded file support that allows users to play virtually any video and music file format.

Other new features include improved aspect ratio correction; easier conversion of music and video files to play on Sony PlayStations, Apple iPods and cellphones; and the ability to compress HDTV recordings into MPEG4 files to conserve hard disk space without losing the surround sound.
