Newcastle Brown, to my mind, is a coarse-tasting beer produced with the
ignorant drinker in mind.

The last time I drunk any quantity of it was in Newcastle in 1967. I
ended up on a marble slab, but survived. The slab belonged to a butcher,
but he wasn't around.



Newcastle Brown Ale is no longer a product of Tyneside. It is the
result of a process carried out at John Smiths chemical works at
Tadcaster.

At one time Newcastle Brown Ale was registered with the EU as a
product than can only be produced in Newcastle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_of_origin
"The geographical limitations can be quite strict. "Newcastle Brown
Ale" was restricted to being brewed in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne
in England. However, having obtained this protection for their
product, the brewery decided in 2004 that it would move across the
river Tyne to Gateshead. As Gateshead is technically a separate
town—albeit only the width of a river apart—it does not fall within
the required geographical restriction. The brewery then applied to the
European Union authorities to have the geographical restriction
revoked. If the restriction had not been revoked, the brewery would
have been forced either to move back to Newcastle, or stop calling its
beer "Newcastle" brown ale.[8] Ultimately, the brewery's application
to revoke the geographic restriction was approved.[9]"

I remember seeing some in a supermarket labelled "Product of the EU"

For anyone who does not already know -

In addition to the channels in the Freesat EPG a Humax can show other
channels that are not in the EPG.

Thanks Peter.

We've realised that we're actually missing the PVR features in the
second box now so are looking to replace the Sky HD box with another
Freesat one.

Is there a (near?) equivalent to the Humax HDR1010S which doesn't have
what I see as the misfeature of needing to go outside of the EPG to
access the other channels?

It used to be said that Newcastle General Hospital had a special ward
where overdosed drinkers of NBA were put. Apparently, this was
completely untrue. There was, however, a special mortuary.

Problem here Charles is that we're dealing with someone who doesn't know
about live beer versus dead beer.


There are too many publicans that don't treat a real ale as a perishable
food stuff.

As for keeping the beer in good condition, I've seen publicans having a
beer festival lasting 4 days and taking out the spile on day one and for
it never to be replaced, even when the pub is closed for 12 hours.

You can use a Linux receiver (PVR) where you can have Freesat and Non
Freesat channels in one (or more) channel list. Also any FTA HD channel
you record will not be encrypted.

See www.world-of-satellite.com for further info.

Humax is a Linux PVR

Yes, but it runs proprietary firmware. It is not a Linux/Dreambox type
receiver which uses open code.

I didn't find it.

Find what? the link works, and is to the Vix forum.

Vix is UK based Linux PVR firmware which runs on a number of different
hardware platforms. The Vu+ products were the first, the Gigablue
products are very competitively priced.
