Ha ha - his ego is being well massaged then - just what he needed, the
poor little lamb.

In my experience -- or perhaps merely in my view -- everything that has
ever gone from the BBC to another channel has emerged worse.

Adrian Chiles, Christine Bleakley, Susana Reid, etc........

sort of magic about the Beeb ("quality", perhaps?); somehow linked to
the saying that some people know the price of everything, and the value
of nothing.

I would argue that ITV did quite a good job with Formula 1 as compared
to the previous effort by BBC.

Do I want to spend £79 a year just to watch them? No, sorry.
I don't need Amazon Prime, I have enough unwatched stuff on the PVR to
last for years.


I have found that I am very good at filling up PVR HDs. There is never
enough space for the next recording.

That's what:
a. The Delete option,
b. The PC
are for.

If you have watched it, delete it.
If you want to keep it, move it to the computer, and maybe an HDD, and
then delete it from the PVR.
There is then space available.
I have a 1TB HDD, and keep it always at 320 GB free space.
or more.

Yeah, it’s a hell of a problem. I must have something
like 20TB now, most of which will never get watched.
And it’s a pain to edit out the stuff that has been
watched from a multi GB recording of a few hours
of the best channels.

I must have something like 20TB now, 10 or so hard drives
and have to delete some crap I will never get around to
watching most weeks to have the space to record the
best evenings.

Get what I believe is called a 'Grip'.

And some of my cricket fan friends say the same about that sport after
C4 grabbed it from the Beeb ?

BBC's coverage of the America's Cup yacht races at Portsmouth last weekend was
awful. For a start the summary wasn't shown until Monday afternoon. Because bad
weather led to the cancellation of 2 out of the 4 races, they could have shown
almost the whole of each race,

The BBC didn't have the rights to show a full race, or even most of a
race.

https://www.americascup.com/en/news/...-Cup-home.html

* BT Sport has secured the exclusive live UK and Ireland coverage
rights for all events in the 35th America’s Cup.

* The BBC will feature race highlights, beginning with the America’s
Cup World Series in Portsmouth in July 2015

Beginning with the opening races of the America’s Cup World Series
in Portsmouth on July 25th and 26th this summer, BT Sport will offer
live coverage of all America’s Cup racing to viewers in the UK and
Ireland through to the finals in 2017.

The BBC will carry highlights programming from the America’s Cup
after acquiring free-to-air broadcast rights for the event.


instead the races were edited and all sorts of
crap was inserted during what was shown of each race. BBC's coverage of the
sailing events of the 2012 Olympic Games was excellent.

You can always buy another PVR. That is what I did. ;-)
