here's a question: Isn't there any way that digital recording devices for VIDEO, ie; TIVO, or a PVR (such as the one that I have http://www.scientificatlanta.com/consumers_new/CableBoxes/8000hd.htm ), to be able to capture an entire program even if it runs beyond schedule?
There is such a system, at least here in Finland. The video recorder listens to signals from the TV broadcast, and knows when to stop recording. I don't have a TV anymore, so I don't know how it works in practice, or whether its used anymore. It depends on the broadcaster and your video equipment, if you can get it working. -- Jussi Salmi http://staff.cs.utu.fi/~jussalmi/
