Hi, for DVB (digital video broadcasting) you could do that with the dvb-utils: xzap -r <channel> cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > recording.ts You need a suitable channels.conf file (example files are included in the dvb-utils package) and you have to replace the x in xzap with t for dvb-t, s for dvb-s and c for dvb-c. The .ts stands for transport stream which is a special mpeg2 format (playable by xine or mplayer). regards Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
