It may be a bit late, but you have extra spaces in your command:

where it says:

acodec=mp2a, ab=192
------------------^
It should be:

acodec=mp2a,ab=192

Also:

std{access=file, mux=ps

std{access=file,mux=ps

Something about CNN videos makes then crash when transcoded, even though they will play normally on screen. For example: http://dynamic.cnn.com/apps/tp/video/tech/2006/12/17/colburn.data.doctor.cnn/video.ws.asx "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://dynamic.cnn.com/apps/tp/video/te...

Hmmm.. Must already be a feature, since I got no replys.

I'll read the instructions again, see if I can find it.

I've had good results with the Hauppauge MediaMVP . It's as small as possible, perfectly quiet, yet delivers some good SD video. I get better quality MPEG decoding than I get on my PC.

Some good solid streams:
CN8
Research channel

Would give the URL, but I can't watch TV at work.

gbpvr has a good interface, handles remote commends, etc.

A Plugin for gbpvr is available that uses VLC to receive, transcode, display and save internet streams.

GB-PVR (like Tivo, but better!)

OK, that's as good as it gets then. There's lots more netTV to watch, so I can do without for now.

Thanks for supporting a great product!
