You can simply "mute" the line-in-channel -- muting in this case only means that the sound isn't sent to your speakers anymore, but it still gets processed by your soundcard, so "mp1e" keeps on recording the sound... I don't know how to do this automatically though. If I'm going to do some time-shift tv-viewing, I do the following: - start "mp1e" with a some low-res quality settings (e.g. a 768x288 resolution (to avoid interlace issues) - "mute" the line-in and let the recording run ahead for a couple of minutes - start "mplayer" and enjoy the film Of course you need a powerful cpu to do this. > Brian J.
