Record Internet TV and Internet Radio Shows
More and more TV and radio programming is available as Internet streams. Whether it's a radio talk show, or your favorite how-to TV how, you don't want to miss it.
But what if you're away from your computer when your show is streamed? Using DeskShare's My Screen Recorder Pro, you can record the show and play it back when you have time to watch it.
My Screen Recorder Pro combines the ability to start recording at a particular time with the ability to record video and audio a computer is playing. Use both together and you can record any TV or radio show streamed over the Internet, and watch or listen when it's convenient for you.
It's very simple. First I'll discuss Internet TV, and then Internet Radio.
Recording Internet Television Streams
Scheduling recording is very simple. For instance, if you know you want to see a program that will be on a German channel at 3:00 PM, Tuesday, but you'll be at work at that time, here's how you would set up the recording. First, click the Tools menu and choose Schedule Recording. The Schedule Recording window opens.
Check Enable Schedule. Set the Start recording at, and and record for times. I'll start one minute before the show starts and record for 31 minutes. I'll also check Tuesday, the day the TV program I'm interested in will be streamed.
You could choose to simply leave the Internet media stream running continuously, and just start and stop the recording at the right times. However, this would mean that the sound and picture would be playing constantly while you're away, which uses a lot of Internet bandwidth for no reason, and it would be very easy to use the web browser for something else, or just have another program end up blocking your view of the program during the recording. A better way is to use Launch a website and start recording.
