Strictly Come Dancing – Season Rec. Problem V+ HD

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

BBC is showing the main show on Saturday on both BBC-1 and simulcast on BBC-HD, but yet again, the results show is only being shown on BBC-1 (crazy, since it is obviously recorded using the same cameras right after the main show on Saturday, and so could easily be shown in HD the following night).

In order to get both to record I have to set up two season passes – one for each channel – but then the superflous BBC-1 Saturday recordings frequently screw up other recorings scheduled for other channels on Saturday (yes, I know you can record two channels at once, but if two of the programmes are consecutive, and you’ve added padding, the recorder thinks you are trying to record three things at once and drops one of them).

Last year, I had to remember to delete the individual BBC-1 Saturday recording from the schedule each week, which is a bit of a nuisance.

My question is, is there an easy round this that I’ve overlooked?

last night’s Granada Late Bulletin – pre-rec? Broadcasting

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Hi all,
could be something and nothing – could be sky maybe, but last night’s Granada News late bulletin was way out of lip synch until the weather came on (which I gather comes out of London)

anyone else spot it – was it a pre-record, or just me?

the format seems to have changed too, but it looked like it was almost packaged in a way that lent itself to a pre-rec?

anyone shed any light on it?
