Default Idea for new channel..

With the success of the now removed woodland sounds radio channel, I
understand we could soon get pasture TV, a 24 hour hi def camera view of
grazing cattle... :-)

There used to be DVDs of roaring fires or restful tropical fish tanks
although I'm not sure I could see the allure of cows, unless perhaps you
want the illusion of living in the countryside perhaps?

Didn't C4 or C5 use to show "Art of Landscape" in their early days?
IIRC this was a very pleasant series of programmes about the natural
world.

I have a whole VHS tape which I recorded from german satellite channel
when they used to show a log fire burning as a "testcard". At one
point you see a hand throwing a new log on!

Does anyone remember the excellent "Spacenight" which used to be shown
on one of the German channels overnight with "chillout" music or the
one which just showed a beach in real time with just the natural
sound?

Along similar lines, I am sure I saw a fake flame effect wall fire in B
+Q last year which had an LCD screen and presumably just a solid state
or HDD recording of the fire. It was definitely being sold as a fire
but I wonder if it had the ability to show TV!
A bit of clever lateral thinking really. Might be interesting if they
invent a 3D one.

Will this do?

If not, there are many others to choose from.
