I made a comment yesterday about the quality of the picture revealing the flaws in the program. I watched a bit of snowy analogue telly and found it more captivating ( I use the word loosly) than the same program in digital. Something about cake and eat it springs to mine. As for Simons comment on recording the stuff he really wants to watch - sounds like a good idea but he must spend his life pouring through the listings and watching rubbish to find out about it or is there something somewhere that gives only listings of programs for people with an IQ of 50 or more to cut it down to 10 shows a week if your lucky?
