Versie 2.2 van Argus TV is uitgekomen. Dit programma is ontstaan nadat de twee ontwikkelaars van For The Record het niet eens konden worden over de toekomst en ieder hun eigen weg zijn gegaan. Met Argus TV kunnen tv-programma's worden opgenomen. Het kan daartoe gebruikmaken van online-tv-gidsen, zodat de programma's niet handmatig hoeven te worden ingevoerd. Welk programma wordt opgenomen, wordt bepaald aan de hand van regelsets en er is de mogelijkheid om handmatig conflicten op te lossen. Het programma kan op zichzelf worden gebruikt of in combinatie met MediaPortal of XBMC. De release notes van de verleden week verschenen versie 2.2 van Argus TV zien er als volgt uit:
