You may be experiencing what I, for lack of a better term, refer to as
the "Sunday Problem." On three of the last four Sunday's,
mythfilldatabase was unable to obtain any new data from Zap2It. On two
of those three occasions, the data was available by the Monday request

If you use Windows, there's an application called PVAStrumento that does
the same thing as ProjectX. Recent versions of PVAStrumento have
restored audio sync in 100% of the files I have used it on. I just use
the default settings; select the .nuv file, 'make ps', set the output
file, set 2048
Try this: Go into the default recording profile for the PVR250 and set
your resolution to 352x480 and your encoder bitrate to 2200
kbit/second. That's about the absolute minimum bitrate/resolution combo
I've found to be usable for standard TV. YMMV. Record something and

Static and noise don't compress well. The higher the compression you
normally use, the more pronounced the file size 'inflation', as it
were. If you find a way to clean up the picture, the files should go
back to normal size.
Actually, if you find a way to clean up the picture, please let me
Am I missing something, or isn't it already possible to do this? If,
say, I prefer to always see the beginning of a program but don't mind
missing the last minute, then I can (always) set programs to start on
time (Start Early = 0) but end one minute early (End Late = -1). If I

Whew, I was worried for a sec. If it hadn't gotten recorded I would
have been in big trouble. Fortunately, I had it set for "Record at any
time on channel 9."
Thanks for the PSA!

It doesn't meet your cost constraint, but when I was considering doing
the same thing you are doing, I went with the Thermalright SI-97A. I
got the 'A' model because it is also usable with socket 754 so I could
keep using it when if/when I upgrade. It doesn't come with a fan, but I

I recently purchased first generation Air2PC cards off eBay. I knew
there might be issues, but it seemed like a low-cost way to experiment
with digital / HD TV and that has proven to be true. In fact, the first
card worked extremely well, no issues whatsoever, so I bought a second
