“PowerDVD 16 has been put to the ultimate binge watching test, and we’re happy to see that our resilient participant was able to successfully break the record with our involvement.”

The TV binge watching marathon was last broken on March 19, 2016 in Vienna, Austria. The record was held at 92 hours by four Austrians.
