Hi there,
Many thanks for the early warning on this TV showing. I'll definately be setting my new fangled DVD-R; something to keep for posterity hopefully.

PS Anyone not already on digital TV a great excuse to rush out and buy a Freeview box (I just saw Asda has one for under £40 in yesterday's Daily Mirror - hope I can give this a plug without any consequences. I'm sure other retailers also have great deals. Watch out that it has enough scart sockets for your liking though as some cheaper ones only have one scart socket). Just ensure you can receive Freeview in your postcose area first though, or go for cable or satellite, if you don't mind the monthly fees.

I was told that my postcode could not get Freeview.
When my TV broke down and I got a new one the guy where I bought my TV from said that was rubbish and I could get Freeview.
He even offered me my money back if it did not work.
I now have Freeview.
So even if they say you are not able to recieve it, the website said this so did Argos and Currys, you may be able to.

Dear all,
Thankfully, I suddenly remembered this and managed to set my DVDR yesterday so hopefully have a nice copy of the film now.
If anyone out there has missed it I just might be able to re-record it onto some more blank DVD's if anyone wants one. (Might be best to send me a personal message on this).
Martin
PS No time to check the recording just yet as have another early start later morning.
