Ah, but how big is the header chunk? All the programs I tried correctly
dropped the first tystream's header, but if the next tystream is
concatenated to the first (a show will be at least 4) then the next one
is NOT dropped, I suspect, but is read, and, perhaps, exceeds the buffer
size, is my guess. Guess I need a hexdump of the first bunch of bytes
from a second-in-line tystream.

Hmm... Ok, I'll find it and try it tonight. Hope you're right. :-)

I do NOT have a DirectTV TiVo, I have a stand-alone with the same "no 
hacking allowed here" routines as a DirectTV TiVo. If splitstream works 
for you with a DirecTiVo, then perhaps it will work for me.
