For The Record is an advanced rule-based scheduling system to record your favorite TV programs in a very intelligent way. It has full support for running as a service with multiple clients (see example setup diagrams below). Access to the system is available ranging from a typical Windows application over plugins for living-room Media playback software to internet Web Access to give you the maximum possible reach. Because the scheduling system is rule-based it offers unparalleled power to record exactly what you want.
