A 30 minute High Quality extract on a SA tivo would take ~17.5 hours to 
extract. Can windows last that long? : )

When I have a bunch of shows to get, I plug in a second non-mfs drive and 
extract to it (hey, I'm lazy [mke2fs /dev/hdb] : ) ).

Mounts fine on my Mandrake 7.1 box (current i486 release, aka broken ftp 
and compiler) as long as pass hdc=bswap at lilo. Still havn't put it in my 
lilo.conf. I haven't tried mounting the drive on my main NetBSD box since 
I don't know if it has a bswap kernel option...and I don't want to ruin my 
uptime. : )

I'm not sure if extraction instructions are the same for a dtv recorder...
