Integrated videotext provides news and information beyond TV program schedules. Burning software is provided, enabling users to load recorded broadcasts to CD or DVD with just a few mouse clicks and thereby compile their own film libraries.

Cinergy XS Hybrid is also equipped with inputs that accept analog video and audio signals, allowing users to import analog videos from camcorders and video recorders to computers.
