May i suggest you take a look at the many UK electronics web sites..and get
stuff shipped.
We are blessed with being the last place in the world for movies and tv
shows to get released, so demand has built here for many multi-standard
devices (ie nearly all UK tv's and vcr's now play american standard off the
shelf without modification.)We also have world standard vcr's etc from all
the far east brands.
Just a thought.

Subject: Dune Miniseries to be shown CUT in USA!
Just learned from cnn.com that in AMerica we get an edited version of the
new television miniseries of Dune. The only "edited for content" bits are
brief nude scenes (they're changing clothes! American tv is sooo prudish)
but there are also cuts for TIME to make room for COMMERCIALS !! on the
sci-fi channel. The latter offends me far more than cuts for nudity.
Another argument for international penpals and multi-standard VCRs. (I
live near an electronics shop run by (and mostly for) Indian immigrants
that sells multi-standard VCRs, but have never had the nerve to go in
there...)
