Cecil,

Thanks for your reply.  I'm curious why dd would give me a better format
than VLC.  I mean, I'll try it when I get home, but from what I read, the
PVR-x50 series outputs stream errors regardless of source and that Myth does
some craziness to bring it back into sync (or just ignores the errors).  Am
I correct in saying that?  And by that post, I'm really not wanting to
integrate this with Myth in any way.  Thanks!

Jim
