But not the download link for the CyberLink PC software is active.

The system requirements call for a fairly modern PC. The software only runs on Windows Vista or XP SP2. A dual-core or quad-core processor is recommended. A minimum of 512MB of RAM is required, and 1GB is recommended. But what may be the sticking point for many users are the video card requirements, you need a minimum of 512MB of video RAM, and 1GB is recommended. Sounds like this is a fairly GPU-intensive application.

The download page is for the DirecTV PC Playback Advisor. The application will test your PC to see if it meets the minimum hardware requirements. If so, then you can get the full DIRECTV2PC application for free.

This feature allows you to stream content from a DirecTV Plus HD DVR (HR20/21/22) to a Windows PC over a LAN. Unfortunately, while the page indicates the software is available now, the download page on CyberLink’s site is currently returning a 404.

Once the software is available, users will be able to stream content, in full HD resolution, from their DVRs to a Windows PC – either recordings or live TV. The PC software provides the same UI as available on the DVR. The software is, or will be, free, so keep an eye on the page if you’re interested. Hopefully they’ll fix the download link soon.

Picked up via EngadgetHD.
