30/60 minute record from now, then stop recording

usbrit · 2004-10-03, 18:52

How about a time recording capability? i.e. record for 30 mins/60 mins from now.
I have a Dish PVR hardrive recorder, so don't use myTV to recoed shows often, but some I would like to archive to the PC in avi format.
Problem is I have to be there at the end of the show to hit stop recording.
I live in the US so most shows are 30/60 minutes.
Thanks

I think that was just fixed in the latest CVS...

when you press record now it will record for 2 hours. Is that a problem ?

2 hours is too long, I would like to be able to choose 30-60-120 mins. that's the standard length for shows here, then I can hit record and leave.

Maybe click once for 30 mins, hit again for 1 hours, hit again for 2 hours and again for 3 or 4 hours (to cover longer movies).
Or every time you click it, it adds an extra 30 mins up to 4 hours worth.
