Just a note to all of those thinking about SiftTV to record German Prgramming. I have been using onlinetvrecorder.com for a while. It works great and is FREE. I was pretty bummed to find a white screen on overseatv yesterday and to find this forum today. I hope nextv can pull off getting ZDF, ARD, KIKA, and DSF. I don't think they'll be able to pull it off since the German Gov't backed GermanTV folded after a year!!
Wollen wir mal sehen!
