Have the channel/recording you want to extract playing, Power off, hit select immediately, go to d11 and see what 5C is set to, only 0 will let you transfer over firewire to a PC. You might be able to transfer a live PPV while a recorded one you can't as well... You won't be able to take advantage of dual tuner over firewire, as all firewire does it output what you send to the TV, so your best off with a single tuner HDTV cablebox and no DVR functionality for Myth use. -- Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
