I went to the folder where the file is located, INFO reports it as an 
MPEG file. VLC opens it. EyeTV opens the file, but shows a black 
window. No video.
The export or save recording window is greyed out, so those are no 
options.
I can only assume that there is something wrong with my current 
installation.
