Thanks Ricardo. An old school friend of mine has been involved with the Bloodhound project (he supplied the ex-Eurofighter air start cart and other technical assistance). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/14/Bloodhound-Cart.jpg) Not particularly glamorous but it does go to show the huge number of people that need to be involved to enable this type of project. I wonder if he'll be in the program? Recorder set! By the way, I'm not sure if they are still using it but this was the Bloodhound fuel pump for a while! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/14/Bloodhound-fuel-pump.jpg)

The recorder. Richard what is wrong with catch up? Are you still on VCRs in sleepy Devon? I've set my recorder too (for 18:00 as Graham has pointed out). My recorder is a TiVo box, it can record 6 channels at once. We record everything and watch at our leisure, fast-forwarding through the ads. A lot more convenient than using multiple catch-up services.

Love it John, no sorry to disappoint but we went HDD around 10 years ago when I got bored with picture quality and the sheer bulk of those VCR's . It's generally pretty good but like all these modern software things it does get a bit hormonal every now and again and a reboot sorts it out, it's got three tuners in it so more options than we need. We updated the tele last week to a Sony Bravia with a ridiculous number of catch up channels available online, which seems to work very well despite living in the forgotten wastelands of South Devon without a fibre connection yet

You cannot skip the ads with catch up. I rarely watch commercial telly live so its set to record.
