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.
Currently 5 freeview tuners.  Seriously considering updating to 5 freeview plus 4 feesat, but I use WebGuide add-on that doesn't work with TV Pack :(

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
