With 30 tuners and 30 TB of storage, SnapStream makes TiVos look like toys

When you’re picking out a DVR for your home, there’s a pretty short list of candidates—TiVo has its new 6-tuner DVRs, or you can get something from your cable provider, or you can roll your own. But consumer-grade DVRs don’t really scale all that well for media companies that need to record and process lots of TV. When you’ve got 30 or more channels that you need to be recording simultaneously, your cable company’s DVR isn’t really up to snuff anymore and it’s time to call in the big guns.
