^^^^I missed it as well.......were would we be without VOD.....LOL

In the dark, dark days of a year or two ago.

Ohh woe how did we cope in those dark cold days......imagine having to put a video into a video tape and record it.....although i still have my video tape and I'm not about to get rid of it anytime soon, i don't record anything off the TV but i just have too many perfectly working videos to simply just ditch it.

I will think about binning my video collection when HD format movies can be bought for 3 for £20..

I think I only survived with repeats and +1 channels, on and my Tivo.

2 for £25 not good enough?

Well unless every single satalite drops out of orbit, including the ones in geostationary orbit, there will still be quite a lot of machines orbiting the earth.

Satellites do fall out of orbit eventually. They're subject to the solar wind, gravitational interactions, micrometeoroid impacts, etc. Geosynchronous satellites might be accelerated into cometary orbits or perhaps into orbit of the Sun rather than falling to Earth, but in general, the odd inert space probe wandering around the Solar System might be hard to find. Lunar landers are the best bet for detectability. (Mars landers would be eroded away by wind and dust storms eventually, although some might end up buried in dust, available for excavation if they can be detected.)

I just saw the show and it was very good......10,000 years and everything modern man had accomplished would not even be a memory.......

That's also all i seem to watch these days, videos/DVDs or something on VOD...

2 for £25 is OK but the choice is still very limited, my hybrid mix of videos and DVD will do me for now, and with the PS3 being quite a good upscaler(£400 for a DVD upscaler, i must have been mad!!), I'm happy to stand on the side lines for the time being concerning diving into blu-ray DVDs......

I've just put it on, and I've either seen it before, or something very similar.

I'm still on DVDs too, I've not upgraded to a Blu-ray player just yet, and I don't have a PS3. I'm thinking I probably will by the end of the year though.
