Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
Stay with me guy's i'm test running as we speak. If all goes well you will be able to access my pc and get the shows you want.
NOW FOR YOUR INPUT!
Shall i convert these files into Divx to make them smaller files? down side is they wont play on most standalone DVD players. As it stand's each show is about 3GB in size which will take about 16hours to download each show even with broadband.
Let me know what you think.

Plus... I have high speed but I know it would still take forever to download at that size.
Great idea, that sounds like it could work ok.

Hi All.
after watching WDU today it made me wonder why people who are thinking of moving out there say things like, " i dont know about the kids and the heat" , if you worry about kids and the heat , dont go to Australia.
Its brainwashed into kids over there about ,Slip ,Slop,Slap,Slip on a shirt,slop on some sun creme and slap on a hat.And as for the car being to hot to get into, think themselves lucky that cars have cloth seats nowadays not the old vynil that they used to have.
You soon get wise about parking your car when its hot.
I also think the spider , snake issue is a bit OTT, in my 23 years out there , mainly up country, i think i saw about 2 redbacks and about 6/8 snakes.
i hope all of you that are making the move, all the best . You wont regret it.

Hi all, well Friday looms and my trailblaze to Perth commences - one problem though - does anyone know where the 6 Nations Rugby will be showing on Saturday night? Will it be on terrestrial TV and if so what station?

We twigged in the first week the show was obviously not filmed in summer filming in august would have ruled out seeing the more realistic sides to aussie weather, things like 35/40+c days:, smog from bushfires, parched brown countryside from constant heat and drought, fly plagues, torrential rain, and the wet windy weather some states get in winter. I would love to see Nadia selling cairns in a cyclone, or adelaide in the burnt off hills in summer, go baby
Anyone finding august hot! would be in for a bit of a shock in summer .

Has anyone here been watching "Nothing to Declare" on LivingTV 2 on Sky Thursday at 9pm. Its about Australian Customs/Border Control and the things that people try and smuggle into the country. Thankfully Nadia Sawahla was not asked to present this one
