Another electronic gadget!
Couldn't resist, i've bought another electronic gadget to add to the collection!
Been wanting a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) for ages, because when there is anything on TV (very rarely I know!) it always seems to all be on at the same time! Problem is every one I found seemed to either have absolutley rubbish reviews or not do what I wanted. Finally found this one by Humax though, partly from recommendation and partly because of its price and reviews!
Still quite expensive but it's going to be completely worth it, it's so useful - ok ok, very cool too :) to be able to pause live TV! It's got 160 gig hard drive too, so i think i'll be recording every single Top Gear for one... Which apparently has started filming again by the way! - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5409608.stm :-D
Can transfer stuff to the PC as well, so i'll be able to keep stuff if the hard drive (ever) gets full! Because it has two tuners you can do all the stuff like picture-in-picture etc too. Still got a bit more playing to do with it yet.
I really have too many electronic "toys" :-)
What else have I been up to... not much really! Off to Sheffield/Chesterfield next week for what will probably turn out to be another epic poker night with Gaz and Neil, if the final year at uni was anything to go by!
Went to Media last night, which has just re-opened and is now owned by Gatecrasher :-D Although last night wasn't quite Crasher... more the usual kind of student cheese night, but it's all good, just not Love Shack though, nothing ever can be! And for some reason it was dead! I think they really need to promote it more... most people probably think it's still closed... Crasher's on in a few weeks... must go, must go, must go...
