OT recording Web TV on PC as a VCR would

[Mike.. . . .]

OK, I hate Murdoch, so I get sport on the PC from things like Eurosport and Tennis TV, works well. One thing I cannot do is record things like the OZ open in middle of night. I need something to record whats on the PC screen for a timed period, like using a VCR. Any ideas?

Depends what format it's delivered in but there are various stream capture programs - I'd suspect some of them have paid-for versions that would allow automation. If you're using FireFox, have a gander on the add-ons site for them.

Don't know of any "timed" stuff, but Applian records "play it again" very well.

Download Manager for Firefox works quite well - bit clunky but OK.

through. For smallish vids. I use Opera and a user.js file that adds a download button to You Tube; for longer ones I use Firefox with DownloadHelper (sorry

- that's the add-on) or Free Download Manager/oget. Had 10 vids of Lakes etc. without having to run through them first. Now to settle down to nearly

5 hours of Julia Bradbury and some scenery ;-)

I tried to beat IPlayer recently using various bits of software. Nothing worked well enough to be viable long term. Easier to download a torrent
