FM Radio
This option requires installation of a lame encoder directshow filer available here. It works only with tuner cards that have an FM radio such as the PVR 150 MCE and the PVR 350. I can't comment on this function because I can't get a decent FM signal!
Net Radio
Internet radio at your fingertips.
System
This function keeps tracks of how fast you're losing hard drive space. This is very important to keep an eye on since an hour-long mid-quality recording uses about 1.2 GB of drive space. You can also restart, hibernate or standby your computer. GB-PVR has a built-in screen saver to prevent screen burn-in even if you don't use these features.

All this is great if you can get free listings (EPG). Now that Zap2It, Schedules Direct ($20/yr.) & others charge, is there another service that will work for generating free XMLTV listings (for Canada)?
I have been getting frustrated trying & opted to use a trial version of Beyond TV but would like to try GB-PVR &/or Media Portal after reading rave reviews. However, the key it seems is a free & accessible EPG.
