Snapstream brings TV monitoring to the Mac


The Daily Show and Colbert Report famously rely upon SnapStream’s high-power Windows DVR software to monitor the insanity at the fringes of America’s cable spectrum. The media-monitoring software is also used by news services, educators and shadowy government agencies to keep tabs on the subjects discussed on TV. The latest edition (version five) opens the platform up to OSX users, enabling them to run it in Firefox without messy virtualization. The OSX web player comes with a plugin to watch MPEG-2 streams that’ll happily sit on top of Snow Leopard or Lion and will even let you set up customized alerts for whenever inappropriate euphemisms emerge from Oprah’s mouth.
