Looks like long time DVR provider, ReplayTV is creating a software only version of their product, according to this call for Beta testers. I’ve heard it rumored before, but this seems to verify that it might actually happen.

I’m not so sure how successful they’ll be with all the competitors in this space, but I’m sure from their perspective, a software-only product has much higher margins in the short run.
