andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3996 Loc: Manchester UK	Since the burglars made off with my myth box I've been unable to record any TV stuff at a decent quality (ie Not VHS). Could somebody record Max and Paddy, Road to Nowhere on Channel 4 at half 9 for me tonight and let me download it? _________________________ Cheers, Andy M

Cheers Cris. BTW - What's wrong with just watching it, or is this for the archive.

I'm having real trouble staying up past 9 o'clock at the moment so I may miss it. I'm also hoping it's good so I may want to watch it again.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but how do you convert the ty stream to standard MPEG2? I have successfully extracted the ty file from my UK TiVo using tyStudio 0.5.0. After that I'm a little vague on what to do in order to create a DVD compliant file for burning. Any help appreciated. Cheers, Sim

Regrettably I was sipping a cup of tea and watching the sun go down over the Welsh coastline at the time you posted! _________________________ Politics and Ideology: Not my bag
