Download For The Record 1.3.3.1

If you don’t want to miss a second of his or her favorite soap opera, series or film, you can use the For The Record program to record the images from the existing TV card on the PC. The program makes use of an intelligent ruleset, so that it is possible, for example, to record all CSI episodes that are broadcast between 7 and 11 p.m. and that have not been recorded before. It can make use of online TV guides, so that programming does not have to be entered manually. For more information, we refer you to this instructions in pdf format. The developers have recently released version 1.3.3.1 which includes the following announcement and list of changes:

Version 1.3.3 of For The Record has been released.

This is a maintenance release with a very strong focus on improving performance. Some of the more complex rules are now up to 30 times(!) faster than before. More common things will be quicker too: browsing the TV guide, popping up the mini-guide,…

We also improved the setup to automatically install the .NET 3.5 SP1 framework for you if needed. And to install Web Access on the built-in Cassini web server (much easier than having to configure IIS beforehand).

And of course some small new features too: support for logical channel numbers (LCNs), a disk-usage indicator in the MMC,…

Version 1.3.3.1:

• Core: fixed MySQL database creation.
• Core: live TV with MP’s TV server recorder/tuner now works fine if a card is busy grabbing EPG data.
• MMC: disk usage indicator is refreshed after you delete a recording.

Version 1.3.3.0:

• Core: switched entire solution to .NET 3.5 SP1, installer can download and install the framework for you if needed. Ajax 1.0 is no longer required!
• Core: implemented custom indexing: schedules that search in descriptions or for actors/directors will be way way way faster.
• Core: optimized the upcoming recordings cache: is even more effective now.
