Malata is going to release the Diva personal digital video recorder. The cool things:

1. Records to .WMA files so less space is used for each recording. I know, WMA. But let’s face it. Its not like regular NTSC is some high-fidelity protocol. You’re not losing much to go to WMA.

2. You can stream movies from the Internet to your TV. Ok, whatever.

3. The high-end unit has a DVD-R built in. Nice. Tivo? Hello?

The press release seems to repeat itself several times, coming dangerously close to being content free. But this sounds cool. I really like the ability to archive off to DVD-R.
