Is there a way to label a manual recording by modifying .evt/.ndx file? I don't know where the title for a recording is stored, I am guessing its in one of these two files.


If it is possible to rename the title by modifying one of these files, how do I download these files without downloading the associated mpg? I suppose I can download all three and cancel the download for mpg, but is there anyway to download .evt/.ndx file individually?


I have too many manual recordings (they do not appear on EPG/Channel Guide) and it becomes difficult to figure out which one is which when I have 20 of them (in the Replay Guide).


I end up playing each one to see which one is which. Instead, I would like to download the .evt/.ndx file and rename the title and stream it back to ReplayTV so that it shows up with the title in the Repaly Guide.


I hope it is clear what I am trying to do.


Thanks.


PS: I would like to edit/rename on PC as opposed to using the remote.

Um, RTFM.


Sorry I had to...


Now the answer, both the show and channel can be renamed. Select the channel/show and press the select button, that will give you the menu choices one is "rename" guess what it does....

It do not have keyboard and with remote it takes forever to enter titles with 20 shows...

WebTV keyboards can be had for under $10, do a search.

And since you can't transfer from the PC to the replay there's only one option... on the replay. Get a keyboard.

The "DVR Remote Control" in DVArchive works great for this. I use it all the time when I need to enter any significant amount of text (renaming, searching, creating categories, etc.).

but you have to have the computer in the same room.... cause the remote does not give 'feedback' to the PC screen.

not necesarily, you could call up a web browser and view the screen shot after typing, and before commiting to 'done' clunky, but hey
