Major improvements to Audials MovieBox for Windows give you the best stream-recording experience yet, and now it’s 50 per cent off

Streaming movies and TV shows is great, but there’s not much you can do with that when you’re without an internet connection. Audials MovieBox 2017 solves that problem, legally.

When you’re planning a trip to the middle of the woods or a remote tropical island, and finally have the time to catch up on Dr. Who, the MovieBox will be your new BFF. For just £16.17 ($19.95 USD), you’ll be able to record media from any streaming, video-on-demand source—really—and save it to watch later, on any device, without needing to be online.

With a Windows 10, 8, 7, or Vista computer, you can record legal media streams of movies and TV shows from services like Netflix, SkyGo, and Amazon, thanks to the MovieBox’s new Generation 2017 abilities. Video streaming services use what’s called “adaptive streaming” to bring you content on demand in high quality, which previous versions of MovieBox weren’t so great at recording. Audials has now figured out how to record all the different types of stream protection among the various platforms, even recommending the right settings for a specific recording, so you’ll have access to practically anything you want.

Management of your media library is easy and worry-free; you can convert, edit, and store your video files for PC, smartphones, and tablets; you can edit movies from DVDs, TV, or protected online videos; and the Audials team pushes weekly updates to MovieBox to ensure you can always record in the best possible quality. In addition, you can set up recordings to begin automatically in the future, as the program keeps an eye out for legal playback of whatever you’re on the hunt for.

If you’ve been debating cutting the cord, debate no more. For Pocket-lint readers, the user-friendly Audials MovieBox 2017 is just too good a deal to miss: normally £32.34 ($39.90 USD), get it today for £16.17 ($19.95 USD).
