I got this working as a means of scheduling start time for BBC live webstream recordings using ffmpeg - only for radio at the moment, I'll try for a live BBC TV HD stream later. What this means is that I can schedule a webstream recording to start at a particular time, and stop at the end of the duration specified in the ffmpeg command line, giving a "forever" recording. I believe that the BBC live webstream is slightly better quality than that available from the iplayer, which if downloaded by the method advised by the BBC, will only be available for 30 days - perhaps not though if the file name is changed or converted to another format!!!
