You have to replace with your setup/configuration. The one I posted is meant to be a shell script. you have to specify a channel that you want to record this is the $CH variable. I though as you've been working on command line you are familiar with all this. You can try the vdr (video disk recorder) package. There are interfaces for different desktops like kde or gnome to schedule recordings. I'm in Austria and here they switched to DTV broadcast so I'm using now klear for recording, but I remember there was a tool to do analog recording too but don't know what's the name the one I've tried is vdr with kvdr. you may try mencoder driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420:audiorate=44100:amode=1:audioid=1:adevice=/dev/dsp1:norm=PAL:normid=0:chanlist=europe-west tv://<SOME_CHANNEL> -o out.avi replace <SOME CHANNEL> with the channel you want to record i.e. E11 replace PAL with the standard that's used in your location replace europe-west with the channel list that is suitable for your location. If it works you'll get out.avi file with the stream. IF not post again what's the issue. Never give up! regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
