   Don't make the mistake of thinking that everybody is in a country that   
   uses ATSC, Ant. Just because ATSC 1.0 uses mpeg2 compression doesn't   
   mean other systems do, as well.   
      
   Somewhere up-thread Daniel posted some general information about a file   
   that indicated the  PAL system. That's an indication that he is NOT in a   
   country using ATSC, and indeed the same list of information said   
   something about "Aussie."

   My only experience with a PVR is with an ATSC-NTSC converter box that   
   has a PVR function through the USB port. When set to record, the ATSC   
   stream is simply passed along to the storage device connected to that   
   USB port, with no conversion whatsoever. It's a simple matter for me to   
   then take that external device to my Linux box and play it with VLC, or   
   if I want, use Handbrake to convert it to a smaller file using a better   
   compression system.   
      
   I have no idea how difficult it is for Daniel to remove the hard drive   
   from his PVR, so I suppose what I'm about to suggest may not be   
   practical. But, if I were Daniel I suspect that if it was at all   
   possible I'd have two hard drives for the PVR, one to use and the other   
   switch in when it gets full, and I'd copy what I wanted to keep off the   
   full one while the second one is in the PVR.   
      
   But that's just me. YMMV.
