Usually out playing golf on a Sunday morning but re-discovered Country File this morning. Top quality TV!
It's changing to 7pm. as from next Sunday so I'll be able to watch it regularly now.
Shouldn't be missed in my opinion.
-
being a country boy, I do tend to have it on (though not necessarily watch it). Shame about the new time though.

Get sky + watch it anytime :y

And no silly subscriptions ;) (Freeview channels are enough for me, and I have option for Freesat on same box)

See, you could reduce that down to 1 device (Vision aside, don't think they have a Windows solution yet?) with MCE. Added advantage, is watchable on any TV in house via extenders (eg, xbox360). Plus, its a bloody good upscaler for SD stuff ;)

Good programme apart from the modern malaise of telling you what they are going to tell you, telling you and then telling you again. They also keep slipping in "repeats" like the fellow sea horse fishing last week, but maybe their budgets have been cut.
Now't wrong with video recorders. Do you remember the days of analogue TV when you could record one channel and watch another at the [size=12]same time size]. With service improvements like digital and modern technology that isn't so easy now!

Record two whilst watching a third on my media centre, think TB can do even more.

And my current 3 Nebula card machine can record 3 multiplexes of programs at once. Fills up the hard drive kind of fast ;D ;D ;D

Record 5 minimum & watch - Humax can do more than 1 service per transponder - not sure what record limit is

I'm sat here now trying to resolve a recording conflict - apparently 5 tuners can't cope with my demands :-[
Its got worse now there is a Top Gear + 1 channel, as that can easily tie up a load of tuners on the odd occasion when the system doesn't realise its the same showing!
But mostly, its all the crap she records - Heros, Medium, and anything Period Drama....

Ahh, Nuff said. We have to pay Murdoch for more crap cos there's not enough on freeview. Then she sits and watches it while playing WOW and doesn't notice that I've changed the channel. :-X

Heroes is great - and you need a Freesat tuner for it
