That's how I watch TV as well - nothing live, all recorded. I've switched off the mini tv and make sure I'm on a different channel before entering the guide. It's a stupid feature - why not switch off the sound as well? I would class that as a bug.

Another issue I've got is the box switches on at random times during the day more frequently than it used to. What is it checking? Or is it downloading EPG schedules?

That Western Digital has been picking up a lot of great reviews. Good purchase! I've been thinking of getting something myself. Maybe a Mac Mini but it just costs so much, and most of my TV is now via Sky rather than newsgroups.

I noticed the court case for Newzbin - there's a couple of other alternative sites now so if they do go down we should still be ok. Nothing like a bit of loyalty.

Nice timing - just thinking tonight that there's been no news on the Blu-Rays. Looking forward to these.

Afraid it's new EPG only. What a difference. Shame there's very little HD content on ITV. :(

Read the Eurogamer article - does seem to poo poo the whole thing. Just can't believe it has the backing of so many though and also picked up so much press that it's BS. We'll see soon enough. Maybe it will split between, and I hate saying this, hardcore gamers and casual. Casual will be quite happy with a cheap platform that isn't quite perfect but looks good and plays ok. Hardcore will use OnLive too but still prefer PC/console gaming to get more reliable lag free, trouble free gaming.

Well, I thought the announcement was pretty sweet. Looks to deliver far more than I expected and loads of API's. iPhone dev book ordered.

Looking forward to your book too. Maybe it will be written before The Beatles appears on iTunes Store or an Apple Netbook is launched ;)

It's the size and cost and the frequency of my photographs. Maybe one day but not at the moment.

Cheers for the comments guys. Zero nails the issue in that I need to export to see the image changes - non destructive image editing in Lightroom is very nice until you want to see the changes elsewhere. I'm going to go with exporting my fav's into iPhoto and live with the duplication. It's not like I take that many photo's anyway, or indeed have that many 'good' photo's. Just like everything quite clean and simple.

Feed seems to be working fine if I look at feed alone or in Bloglines or Google reader. The first time I looked in Bloglines it was displaying nothing from this year! I then added the Feedburner feed which displayed all latest content. I then looked at the original feed and it was up to date as well. Methinks a Bloglines issue, but then I would!

Thanks again for the heads up. Now Lijit free.

Cheers for the info H. Lijit now uninstalled. I also got an e-mail from a reader saying it broke the site when they used it - back to default Wordpress for now.

The feed news is very interesting. I moved from Feedburner to Google owned account in Feedburner (I know what I meant!!!) but still the same feed address and in Google Reader the feed has been working fine. I wonder if it's a feed issue or Bloglines? I do remember reading that some feeds in Bloglines were failing. Time to investigate further.
