This may not be what you are looking for, however...

I record KUSC operas with mplayer. Evidently you have broadband, and I 
do not. But I just recorded 5 hours = 2.2GB without a problem. But I 
have ext2. mplayer is used with pure commandline: I am not even there 
when it starts recording.

I'll be glad to post more details.
