This is what is included in the new versions:

Including built-in DVBLink recorder, Unicable support and a lot of usability improvements! Now you can use your DVBLink server to record content locally and watch it in networked MediCenter and DLNA clients!

v4.5 is a major milestone in DVBLink products development. What is new/changed from the previous release:

General

  • Added: New product licensing engine

  • Fixed: A number of MediaCenter growing database fixes (also some new ones not present in the previously released patches)
