I handed over the faulty Digifusion box, and in return, I got my Folio Society Books and my nice new Humax PVR9200T. Tonight I got it home, plugged it in, switched it on, and within seconds it had found a multitude of channels, most of which I will probably never even realise are there, never mind watch. I have test recorded it, and it’s all working correctly, is fast, and the menus are intuitive to my poor ol’ brain… 🙂

Incidentally, it comes with a USB connection to hook up to my PC, so if any of You see something on a digital tv station and can’t receive, let me know, ‘cos I have two tuners so unless you are talking Sunday’s at 9pm I am likely to be able to record it for you, and burn it off onto a dvd as an MPEG file. Just let me know! (cloud_less, anything you want to watch on BBC3?)

This week, whilst writing long, personal, highly protected posts and persueing how Solveig is manipulating both the Alfar and the Human people in my story, I have been digitising my tapes of various BBC Radio adaptations. Taped over the years off the radio, there are some classic stories, which I’ve now been listening to, to and from work. At the moment I’m listening to Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising with Ronald Pickup as Merriman – and it is stunningly dark and scary. It probably doesn’t help that at this Autumnal–Winterly time of year and the country roads I drive though at the two cusps of the day seem to mirror the atmosphere of the story. Maybe The Walker is abroad…
