merging .ty files

Mike,

Not sure if this is possible for your situation, but I have found 
that Windows 2000 gets acceptable transfer speeds with the netcat 
executable. It possibly could be that this binary was created with 
Windows 2000 in mind, and that while Windows NT 4.0 might work with 
it, it's simply just not optimized and therefore you see the slow 
transfer rates your experiencing.

Also, I read in one of the previous posts that some people have had 
better experience with the 10MB card in the tivo being used with a 
hub rather than a switch. Not sure why this would be but someone 
stated that higher collision rate might account for it. However that 
should only happen when you are sending alot of data over the network 
at the same time, rather than one stream.

Also FYI, I after some help from Roger Merchberg am using sendstream 
to get my TY streams off of the tivo. It works much better in my 
experience and it might solve your transfer rate problems. Just 
something to try as this isn't an exact procedure in anybody's book 
and just about everybody has different ways of doing it.

Good luck
