It lets you watch, record & pause live tv, as well, so I guess there won't be any file splitting, like Power VCR, which is obviously designed for burning to CD.

Thing is I do want to burn my files to CD but I'd like more control over the size. Obviously they seem to think everybody uses 650Mb CD's which simply isn't true - I don't wish to lower the bitrate to make it fit within the 600Mb 'limit' nor do I want part of my show that I'm recording to be cut off towards the end and split into another file!
I've just had a look into Showshifter, and it only seems to do MPEG4, DivX, Indeo and Motion JPEG, none of which I want to use simply because my computer probably can't hack the encoding and also I've found that those formats make it diffcult to encode the file to other formats (e.g. real).
