So here are my questions. I loaded BeyondTV 4.6.1 and then I went to the web based interface and started selecting programs to record. After a day I noticed none of the shows recorded. Then I noticed when used the ViewScape to check the SnapStream.Net guide there was no info on the channels though I did the set up wizard and the channels were showing on LiveTV.
Eventually I found under SETTINGS/SnapStream.net SETTINGS I find a DOWNLOAD SNAPSTREAM>NET PROGRAM GUIDE DATA. So I did this and found all my recorded shows loaded onto VIEWSCAPE.
QUESTION: shouldn't this downlaod automatically? If I travel to Europe and go online to record a show, do I have to fly back to the US to download the data so my computer will know to record the shows I programed on the web???
Once a show is recorded, I see a lot of extra files that are created. Show title.chapters XML Doc. Do these delete themselve or will I have a bunch of mini files everytime I record a show?
Im a former WinTV/Titan TV user. With this software I was able to connect a VCR and play a tape and it would show on the screen in which I would start recording that feed and convert my VHS tapes to Mpeg. How can I do this with BeyondTV?
Is there a way to skip commercials on the recorded mpeg. Like I record a show and when its done I can burn it on DVD w/o the commercials or do I still have to manually edit the mpeg. that's what I was hoping it would do but Im thinking what you meant by skipping the commercials is playing the footage in Beyond TV and them hitting a button every time you wanna skip past a commercial.
Thanks for your help. ill check the forum and advice or cool tricks for my use are welcomed.
Thanks for your time.

YEs, should download automaticly. Look at your btv logs to see if you have a problem. Some people get coruption when the guide tries to download and can only resolve with manual download. You should have between 10-14 days of guide data. You can add a program like logmein or teamviewer to access your computer when your away to check to see if everything is ok.
They keep with the show. If you delete a recorded show, those files will be deleted.
Yes, In webadmin there is a record now on the left handside. you can give the recording a name and duration.
You have to edit the commercials manually. there are some programs which look at the smartchapters and there is an xvid commercial cutter (do a search in the forums) which some members are working on. Yes, they meant pushing button to skip commericals. It's better this way cuz smartchapters are not 100% accurate.
