Can you please help me complete this http://tyve.se/johannes/htpc/HTPC_software_lineup.htm ?

I'm specially interested in the things that isn't supported in different software. Also if I should add some features that GB-PVR has that is unique.

Best regards,
Johannes

Version: 1.0.16
HDTV: Yes
PiP: No

Not sure on DVD support -- never used it.

Zoom pics: yes
Download info from Internet: Netradio sort of fits here as a streaming solution
Visualisations: Yes

Sports scores: I wrote that plugin. It needs to be skinned for the most recent version of GBPVR, and currently the NHL is broken (perhaps others as well).

i would add another area under ASTC that is Clear-QAM support (unencrypted cable) because americans are going to start caring about that pretty soon.

EDIT: For music: shuffle, sort, search are easily done with a plugin

That's the version I use. Bgpvr is the first software I know of that has less features and more bugs with the 1.x versions than with the 0.x versions.
