I quite often record programmes on terrestrial digital whilst I'm on my way home from work using dvbstream. Since dvbstream doesn't have a timelimiting feature and because I though it would be useful I wrote a program called timedrun
http://chris.intrepid.cx/timedrun-1.0.0.tar.gz timedrun -t 1h-5m dvbstream -f 481833 -ts -o -f 481833 2827 2828 > recording.ts This would record channel4 for 55minutes (1hour - 5minutes) Stick that in cron and voila a simple timed recording. The time can be specified in combinations of days weeks hours minutes and seconds. 1h = 60 minutes 1h1m = 61 minutes 1h-1m = 59 minutes and so on Hope this helps. cp On Thu, 12 Dec 2002, Alexandre CONRAD wrote: > Hello, > > I'm need to record a program from the satellite onto disk, and then send > this recoreded video on a video server.
