        if it means buying a card, then, nope.  i  assumed that the
        bits were streaming thu my cable to firefox and that thedre
        was some program that could collecte these data and stash
        them in, say , /tmp.  i'm using linux as a desktop, and FBSD
        as my server.  

        maybed i'll find where pbs has these films stashed ... or
        maybe they were only for "pledge week"  

        gary

        ps:: fwiw, that capmbell stuff was about half of the
        original.  i've got all 6 hours of audio, tho.
