Thanks for the update!
I had by far found your application to be the easiest
to extract the streams from the Tivo.
So far I've been using it for raw ty-streams - 
but I'll give the new one a try.

Only thing that I had tought about being an improvement
would have been to be able to sort the list of shows
that comes back by clicking on the field header.

I tend to extract things in groups - 
and go after things with the same "Show Name" :)

Maybe this summer I'll have some free to take a look at the code :)
