It'll be interesting to see whether they launch a package where people pay for the receiver and installation at the same time, or whether there'll be a lot of Rod Hull moments. [...] What idiot puts the dish on the roof unless they have to? (looks at Sky-guy-installed dish in next street) Hmmm. -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Free Sat FAQ: http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2006/astefaq Webmaster/web developer, statistician, sysadmin, online shop maker, Workers co-op @ Weston-super-Mare, Somerset http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ |

So, for most people in the UK, this is an incomplete service. ITV are all free-to-air for some time now. C4 and five are still not, but S4C is. [...] So you have to get a box which doesn't do basics for PVR functionality (needs an EPG), or receive all standard UK channels. Or you pay rent to Sky for Sky+. The EPG monopoly and the loss of Ceefax are the two worst things about UK-targetted digital satellite broadcasting. OFT should step on that, instead of doing the Nth supermarket review. -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Free Sat FAQ: http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2006/astefaq Webmaster/web developer, statistician, sysadmin, online shop maker, Workers co-op @ Weston-super-Mare, Somerset http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ |

Pomp and Circumstance, Fantasia on British Sea Songs, Jerusalem and the National Anthem. I think it was that showman condouctor Sir Malcolm Sargent who put them all together sometime in the early sixties. The only time they haven't been done since was in the immediate aftermath of 7/11 when the USAin Leonard Slatkin was conducting the last night. -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks" |

Well unless you like on-screen logos, scrolly text, jaunty camera angles and "edgy" production values. But you'll need a High Definition set during the 2012 Olympics so that you can see the exertion on the faces of the winners in stunning detail and still have enough definition in the picture to see the British athletes waaaaaaay back in the distance as well as being able to make out the obscene hand gestures from the home crowd.

When I were a lad Marky, I had a shedload of one-sided gramophone records, IIRC they used to bear the label 'Edison Bell' 'ring out loud and clear'. Didn't some female singer say something like she couldn't tell the difference between hearing real life singing and "Mr Edison's marvelous system"? I guess that the whole concept was so magical in those days that such superlatives were understandable. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._Rigoletto.ogg -- Dave Farrance |
