How do you record TV? Leon


Currently I have an AverMedia DVB-T card in a Windows box. It's own 
software is easy to use, if not particualarly feature packed, although 
you can easily schedule recordings in the future, and also schedule 
repeat recordings as well.


Output is an MPEG2 stream, which I usually convert out to Xvid or Divx 
for compression/storage purposes.


Prior to this I had an analogue WinTV card which I had plugged into a 
spare digibox I had floating around. This worked well, but image/audio 
quality wasn't the best, aspect ratios were often incorrect.


I've got Sky+ in the front room for She Who Must BE Obeyed's use, and 
about to build a small mediabox/shuttlepc for the front room to act as a 
DVD recorder for programs on Sky+ I want to keep (via SVHS/audio inputs) 
and also the music/MP3 repository. So am looking for suitable capture 
cards for this.

The Yahoo! - TiVo deal has set off all sorts of rumour-mongering. It
looks like a little bit of a pain to set up.

Both Leo and I have EyeTV's
(http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetvmain) and we have
a little script which polls mightyv and uses AppleScript to call
EyeTV.app (and thus records MPEG2 onto our computers). It's a bit
hacky though. We've been wondering what do to, but I do think a MythTV
(think TiVo but open source) plugin might be good.

Well, that or get bought by Yahoo! of course ;-)
