Chris - EyeTV only gives me the option of MPEG-1 recording at 1.1 Gb/ 
h (or lower quality)

Did you really mean 13Gb/h in Alchemy TV?
I guess that means that Alchemy TV is a higher-spec alternative to my  
consumer EyeTV ?!
If you meant 1.3 Gb/h, then there may be an observable but not huge  
difference.

I discover that this exact option is available in EyeTV.

I guess I did not really what is was and how good it would be.  I  
will use that now.

I assume that the resultant  files will also open in QT.

Thanks, as usual !!
