the midnight shut down

[Ann]

oh .. I forgot to specifically notice.  I was watching Casualty that I'd recorded earlier, but I think I'd have noticed if yahoo messenger had shut down and come back on again and it didn't.  I didn't realise it was so late...

Rerun tomorrow then   

[Inactive]

Ann....WAKEY ....WAKEY ...too late.

[Rik]

I think she's just trying to build the tension, In.

[Inactive]

Far more important things to do..like watching Casualty.

[Ann]

I've set Digiguide now to remind me just before midnight tomorrow.. should've done that tonight but I didn't realise I'd get so engrossed in Casualty.  Also watched Have I Got News For You, the longer version that I'd recorded.  Sorry guys.

[Ann]

Digiguide is cool!  I've set it to say "Ann, don't forget to check if the line drops at midnight" at 3 minutes to.  That'll do it.

[Inactive]

Sorry guys.

No need for the " sorry " Ann, I am sure we were all just pulling your leg.

( Inactive scratches his head and wonders how anyone could get engrossed in Casualty )

[Rik]

Sorry guys.

We are going to have to get a 'pulling your leg' smiley.

Easy, watch 144 episodes back to back. 

[Ann]

I just watched two episodes back to back and I used to be a nurse so it's kinda nostalgic.  I've got an episode of Holby City to watch now..

[Rik]

I think you should get the DVD set of House for Xmas, Ann.

[Inactive]

  The only thing I have ever found remotely interesting in Casualty is watching the " extra's " walking the corridors with bits of paper in their hands, trying to look invisible.

[Ann]

Series one of House is on Five US every weekday evening at the moment.. it's pure bliss.. series two starts in the new year.   

[Rik]

Haven't you already seen series two, Ann?

[Inactive]

To each his / her own Ann..as they say, I cannot stomach anything on Five US.

[Ann]

It's the only thing I watch on Five US, In, and I only just found that. 

Always watch telly on computer Rik, and only recently got a decent TV card (well, USB) with Freeview channels and recording capability.  Didn't watch much television before.

[Rik]

Well, you'll enjoy House 2 (though if you don't want to wait, HMV were doing the boxed set for £12.99).

Digiguide should be a good companion to your style of viewing.

My computer has a Freeview and Satellite Card built in Ann, it also has a Remote Control, I have never used them, I must connect them up one of these days.

Will this do? 

[Inactive]

Will this do? 

Brilliant Simon...perfect.

[Ann]

Very nice Simon, but really not necessary.. in this thread anyway.

[Rik]

Will this do? 

Karmically so.

Which TV adapter did you get Ann?  Can you recommend it?

[Ann]

Hi Mo, I got DigiTV by Nebula.  http://www.nebula-electronics.com/

I got a master and slave USB model and use them with a powered hub.  They take a fair bit of power to run, and I thought that would be the best option.  It works well.  I can watch one channel and record others.  There are a few bugs with the software but nothing major and it's updated every now and then.  It's easy to set the timer to record stuff and it just works really.  I have to say that for me and the way I use television, it was worth every penny.

Thanks Ann, they sound good, but outside my price-range I'm afraid.
