Hi,
I've no idea what the forum etiquette is on this, but I was so cross yesterday (mostly with myself, I think) that I not really in an etiquette place.
GBPVR has been failing to record any programme in the last 3 days. First of all I thought it might be because I was trying to record 2 at the same time (I have 2 Hauppage Nova-T PCI cards under WinXP and have been happily recording off Freeview channels for ages), but I don't think so.
I'm going to try various things shortly to isolate the problem, but in the meantime, I need a programme. The background is that I have friends who home-educate and who don't have tv. I've been merrily recording all sorts of stuff for them (Time Team, for instance) and burning to DVD. Works a treat.
On Monday, I'd set GBPVR to record part 4 of "Life in Cold Blood" with David Attenborough. It didn't work.
Now the etiquette issue comes as I wonder if anybody recorded that and would be willing to email me a copy.
If this is the wrong thing to do, I apologise. I haven't been able to find anything on the forum which says requests like that are forbidden, but maybe I didn't look hard enough.
Anyway, thanks for reading all that.
Robin
