Hi guys.
I'm using a ASUS U3100 USB2 HDTV tuner, and for the life of me, I can't find a program that will convert the original file to a smaller size.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

What type of file does it produce ?
All Australian DTV broadcasts are Mpeg-2 with either AC2 or MP2 audio. Generally DTV capture devices give you two options for output. They will either give you the entire Transport Stream (.TS) or just the Programme Stream (.mpg). Some cards offer a third option, which is to transcode to another format on the fly. This is not something I recommend.
I capture programs streams regularly and have no problems with either of those tools (I use both).
Post a g-spot of the files in question so we can see what you actually have.Read my blog here.

I couldn't open it with avidemux. -
What is your final format goal? (.eg. do you want it playable only on PC, or standalone DivX DVD player etc....)
Are you able to play it back in a directshow player like MPC? If so, then you should be able to convert it with xvid4psp to many formats
Can you open it up and index it with DGIndex (DGMPEGdec) ? If it indexes properly, you should be able to use avisynth and any encoding application that accepts .avs input to encode it to something else
If your .ts has errors or discontinunities/drop outs , you can sometimes fix it by running it through projectx or pvastrumento (for MPEG2 .ts) - this might be why avidemux & videoredo refuse to open it (if the error is at the beginning of the stream) -
I would like to be able to at least convert the original HDTV ts file down to a 1280x720-5000kbps video for playback on the PC.......this still looks good and saves quite a bit of space.
I'll investigate the other options you gave when I can, but I just thought I'd add that AGK accepts the file but doesn't recognize the audio, in fact, it allows me to use it's WMP9 preview player, but the sound bar is dead and has lost the option to mute or increase/decrease sound. -
AC3 filter didn't work

I wonder if anyone would dl this 45mb 1080i clip and see if they can figure out why it's being so recalcitrant...? -
It works fine, you need haali media splitter (or a proper splitter) to play it in MPC or directshow players.
AC3filter works to decode it properly on playback
All converting progams seem to work with it here on my test system. (incl. avidemux)
So make sure you have haali media splitter, ac3filter, and an mpeg2 decoder (you can use ffdshow, just enable MPEG2 in the configuration) -
it works, but is more like a transport stream than mpg. i used HDTVtoMPEG2 on the file mpg-> mpg and then everything could play/use it.

With my old 1080i tp files, video-redo would open almost instantly even if the file was 20gig. -

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me.
Just in case people are reading this and now think the ASUS U3100 is da bomb, unfortunately it isn't.......ie, my old PCI capture card used to introduce skips/glitches, so I boosted my antenna and it made a 2000% difference to signal quality, however, even with my high gain antenna, the Asus skips way too much, granted you can use AGK to minimize the damage, but I think PCI-PCIe is the way to go. -
Well after fixing the problems I had, it dawned on me that the Asus is still a PITA as it skips and I have to run it thru video-redo if I want to allow AGK to accept the files, so I bought a Kasier Baas USB and the tuner is a thousand times better, plus AGK recognizes the files without having to convert them to a ts.
