FWIW On my first trip to the USA I found that the film 'Superman' was on TV and was initially impressed/amazed that it was listed as being almost 4 hours long. When I watched some I realised why... More adverts than film. Quite unwatchable for someone used to UK TV. The lack of real news was also amazing. And as they say, "Its call Fox News because that's what it does" :-) Jim -- Electronics http://www.st-and.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
