When I run ls -ald /usr/local/media/tv/*, this is what I get:<br><br>-rw------- 1 root root 83882592 Jul 23 17:25 /usr/local/media/tv/2192_20060723172400.mpg<br><br><br>The other surprising thing I just noticed is that my old recordings, which I make it chmod -R 755, if I try to go and watch them, I can do so. However, once I start watching it, their permissions now change to permission of 666!
<br><br>Another thing is due to this permission screw up, I can't watch Live TV, but then it is apparent why...<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>--a--<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/22/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael T. Dean
