Here ya go - ignore all the pinky/purple (that doesn't happen - it's
just the camera and the crap pix) and for some reason everything is
shifted to the left a bit which wasn't happening yesterday but it's only
a 14" portable and I haven't a clue, so I wouldn't shoot the PVR.
Anyway, I'm sure this will all mean more to you than it does to me!

There's probably a load more, but I'm sure there's enough to give you an
idea...



Thank you for that info / screen shots Keith, as a result I have given it
a go and placed an order tonight. You should be on commission :-)



OK Gio, I hope you like it; if you post any observations on the groups,
please ensure to include ukra - I would be very interested to hear your
opinion. From viewing earlier this evening, I can confirm that DVDs played
through it ('AV in') suffer *no* loss of quality at all, from what I can
see! (Tested with Kill Bill Vol. 1 - the Okinawa sequence!)

One thing - hook it up and scan the stations in *before* you put an HDD in
it, or the machine will play dead!

Thanks for the tip Keith. With luck it will be delivered on Wed so no
report for a bit. It seems a little strange that the machine plays dead when
a drive is fitted. I would have thought the machine would have set about
formatting the new drive on boot-up then would have been ready for tuning.
By the way what is ukra ? The only thing I know with those letters are The
United Kingdom Rocket Association (UKRA) as in www.ukra.org.uk/
If it means something else then you will have to let me know because my isp
does not list ukra on the newsgroup list.
