Today Plextor announced the release of their new ConvertX TV-402U device. In the coming weeks we will be releasing a version of SageTV that will support both ConvertX devices (TV402U & 402U) and allow recording of TV in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX. In addition, SageTV will also allow full timeshifting support for LiveTV in MPEG-4 and DivX. This is a feature you will not find anywhere else.

Here's some product information about the TV402U:

The PX-TV402U is the world’s first DivX Certified PVR. Recording video in the DivX format gives users the ability to record 3 times as much video as normal without sacrificing quality. It also gives you the ability to record video into resolutions perfectly suited for playback on portable and handheld devices. The PX-TV402U contains an integrated high quality TV tuner to assure the highest quality video. The PX-TV402U is an external USB 2.0 device which connects to a PC running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
