In the client settings, users can allocate a directory for local saving, which the client will encode in MP4 format. The PC and Mac clients (and we're told the iPad as well) allows for TV recording. The player keeps a running buffer constantly recording so that rewinding can be done instantly and not remotely. We really like the fact that users can pause and rewind live TV natively via the Flow client when being used on a PC or Mac. That said, we didn't always find the EPG to be completely accurate with times and descriptions, though some of the blame here can be directed at the channel guide content provider. The EPG is stored on the client-side, so there's no lag in choosing content. On paper, the Flow's electronic program guide (EPG) sounds like a fantastic way to bypass the tediousness of controlling a set-top box with a delay. That said, for those tapping into the Flow from outside their home network, we'd adamantly recommend a wired connection. The stream quality certainly dipped when we tried it over Wi-Fi, but by no means rendered it unwatchable. The system was able to deliver a high-quality video stream when attached via an Ethernet connection. Overall performance on the Flow PC and Mac-based players was great. The Vulkano Flow doesn't attempt to do more than advertised-and for customers who want a device focused on video and audio placeshifting, the Flow will work well.
