a survey question of sorts

How many people out there used gbpvr to record the season premier of 24 last night??

[Torque]

I tried... but my guests changed the channel on my Dish Networks box to something I'm not subscribed to and the USB-UIRT couldn't change the channel back to Fox when recording time came. So at about 9pm last night when I tried to watch it, you can imagine how pist off I was to see about 2 hrs worth of "You are not currently subscribed to this channel." :mad:

I just hope they run it again later this week...

Common sense from the days of the VCR: If football proceeds your program, pad the time.

I padded the end by 45min and got everything w/ 20min or so to spare.

I padded the end by 30 minutes & got the whole thing.... Then tonight's episodes didn't record, and I missed them

[Torque]

Kayleigh, do you have a DVD burner? You have what I need and I have what you need (or a fast connection?)

I checked Fox's schedule, and it doesn't appear they're gonna run any encore showings.

I used to wonder why they did that, and I just realized/remembered it's because there's a DVD market for seasons now.

If you can figure out how to uase newsgroups or bittorrents, new 24 episodes are more common than a Paris Hilton clip (on some days)

[Torque]

Yeah, I've played with BT a little in the past... found that I was more likely to get a virus or the Paris Hilton video than an episode of what I really wanted. LOL.

Use newsgroups. Worht figuring out if you like to do the same thing in private, w/o all the publiticity, and w/o all the garbage you can catch there.

I have the Monday night episode on mine. If you pm me I can give you the link to the web admin and you can download it from there.

I figured I'd go to newsgroups, but if someone has it transcoded to MPEG4 AVI or even SVCD that'd be great (i don't record those to keep). I just want to see the episodes before next week's installment - it's too easy to get lost.
