Re: Extracting and converrting

TyTools works fine for downloading except where the size of the
program gets excessively large. I think there's a limit on the
number of FSIDs TyTools can handle within a single program. This is
a case where TySuiteJ or mfs_ftp would come in handy for offloading
the HD content.

The original comment wasn't meant to be a put-down of TySuiteJ. I'm
just an old fart stuck in his ways and I've been happy using TyTools
for many years so I haven't seen the need to change. I dumped
DirecTV back in February for FIOS and no longer have any HDTivos to
play with. I've migrated to S3 Tivos and an HTPC.
