No music record

I installed a new Hughs dual tuner yesterday and came against the fact
that I could not record the lite jazz (or any other music channel)
What's the deal? I can record any video style channel - what's the
difference with music?

The difference is that you can record programs, but not music :-)

If you need to record something, record it to your Hi-Fi VCR and you'll
get 6-8 hours of CD-quality recording. I'm guessing the lack of
recording may have something to do with the contracts DirecTV signed
with the recording industry.

Another poster already answered your question. But, for what it's
worth, you can actually record these channels. Create a wishlist that
matches one of them, and it'll record the channel. The end result is
less than ideal. When you try to play back the recording, you'll have
no video at all (the last frame of now playing will be frozen on the
screen), and it won't show any info about the current song.

Huh? I can (on DTV). In fact the suggest function is always recording
the rap and reggae channels when it is not doing anything else. I
figured this is becuase that is what I listen to most.

Are you saying that you can go to an audio only music channel, press the
record button, and the DirecTivo responds with a message saying it's
recording?

What is want now is to figure out how to get it to trasfer files over to
my PC so I can store these tunes. Anyone have a file snoop pgm for linux
that works over networks?

You don't have a DirecTiVo. The rules are different (annoyingly
enough) for a DirecTiVo.

I believe the music channels are in a different stream format and the Tivo
software is not written to handle that for recording and playback. So, it
is just passed through to the receiver hardware. Music is certainly not the
target of a Tivo system, so in general, I find this a non-issue. Just pipe
your audio output where ever you want and record it (tape deck with Metal
tapes? CD-R? Etc).

You probably have a Stand-Alone Tivo. You are wasting a lot of disk space
just to record a little music, as you recording the video and the audio.
