Hi.
I think I'd like to record some iplayer stuff, just to view at a later date, when I get time to sit and watch it.
To this end I'm wondering which software people can recommend, that will record the streamed TV/Radio and save it to the hard drive.
In the case of TV streaming, to record it in a sufficient res to play-back on TV, if I didn't want to watch it on the computer.
I've used screen-hunter from wisdom-soft, for still images before, and they have a tv recording product, but I'm just curious about whether there may be better software [i]out there[/i]
Thanks in advance...

You know that most iPlayer stuff can be downloaded and kept for 30 days? Or do you need longer than that?

Hi. Err, no I didn't know that. I shall look into it, thanks 😉
But yeah, I guess there would be some stuff I'd want to keep for a while longer.
Cheers

Legal and moral issues aside, something like:

Thanks for that. However, that seems to be quite an involved process.
I was thinking of something that just records what you see or hear on your PC/Laptop. Or am I being too simplistic with that view ?.
I'm getting the feeling I may be trying to lift the lid on an IT can-O-worms ?...

Legal, I don't think you can. But you can install a tuner and record it with Windows Media Centre or MythTV and Linux.
I use [url= http://po-ru.com/projects/iplayer-downloader/ ]THIS[/url] to download programs for viewing on iphone/ipod - very simple and small. No idea what to use for big screen viewing though.

Use a PVR?
get_iplayer will do what you want
Ok, thanks for those tips and suggestions. I shall look into them, see what I come up with.

You can download the WMV (windows media player) versions where they are available, and strip the DRM (Digital Rights Management) out of them with a DRM remover, so they last forever. However not all programmes are available in this format.
It may well be illegal but I have no problem morally doing this for home usage when it's perfectly legal to video stuff or Sky+ and keep it as long as you want.

Hi 🙂
Thanks for that. Along with the other suggestions here, I'll have a bit to be getting on with.
Yeah, its just for personal use.
