Beyond TV 4.3 Released, new social features

SnapStream announced the release of Beyond TV 4.3 which adds DivX 6.1 and support for new ATI video cards, but the coolest new feature is Buzz, featuring lists of aggregated stats from their users.

Buzz lets you see most popular recordings in the last week, much like TiVo reports weekly and for major events, but even cooler is most scheduled programs in the next week (called Top Upcoming Recordings). This is great feature because it is much more granular than season passes, showing everyone the specific popular shows and events coming up they might otherwise miss. It's a look forward rather than back, which means that if you wanted to, you could set those recordings as well so you don't miss them.
