Hi Kyrre,

I must admit I'm no expert, but a few times when I've wanted to record a late program I've started it using cat /dev/video0 > myvideo.mpg

I then used ps -aux to list all jobs and wrote down the job number.

I then used crontab and the kill command to stop that job a bit after the film finished, then I could go to bed and leave it going.

I use the attached script to record all kinds of stuff.

Here is an example of a crontab entry that calls the script:

00 21 27 1 * /pb200/pvr/record_tv.sh -c43 3600 /pb200/pvr/Basketweaving_Galaxy_-_214_-_Black_Market.mpg

(it's wrapping in this email, put it on one line in your crontab)

-c43 changes the channel
3600 is how many seconds it should record
The last part is what the file should be named.

Enjoy!
