My Panasonic Bluray recorder records everything to its hard drive . Once you've decided whether to keep the recording on a disc you set what quality you want - and with anything HD I always have the max quality but a single layer blank holds between 4 and 6 hours of HD content depending on the...

In the UK both BBC and ITV have lost interest in Bluray. There are surefire winners like Sherlock and Downton Abbey that appear on Blu but the majority of the peaktime content that is broadcast in HD fails to get a Bluray release even though other countries may get one. Its for this reason I...

Yes , the one thing the Imavision discs had in their favour were the commentaries and for later seasons the interviews. I was a bit naughty . I knew I would not be keeping the Imavision sets ( bar the one with the book and the movies) so I spent quite a bit of time compiling several discs of...

Just over £15 delivered including expedited post to the UK from Amazon.com in 6 days - that's really good going. Very quick browse of the discs and the 2 part episodes hold no bad surprises that we saw with Remember Me . To Live With Fear ends with the caption "Next Week To Live with Fear Part...

I've seen discs from both the UK and US that carry the old dvd bonus features in SD - 576i/480i. The Superman set for one . When my PS3 was connected to my tv via HDMI I found it slightly annoying that while the PS3 would upscale SD dvd material it would not upscale SD material on Bluray discs...

Network have been releasing classic tv on home video here in the UK for well over 20 years - they know their market and the market for The Professionals in HD is much larger than for Y2 of Space 1999 so no campaign is going to make any difference. Campaigns are useful for alerting distributors...

Strictly speaking there is . NTSC (525) line content is 60hz but PAL (625) is 50hz. I believe that modern branded US tv's can still have problems with 50hz content on Bluray discs . Some UK Blurays are 50hz and some also contain old dvd bonus features also at 50hz. It's not uncommon to hear...

Bit late in the day for me to reply but the BBC4 broadcast of this several years ago was the original version and included the Grease and Saturday Night Fever sequences intact unlike the recent repeat where the film footage was replaced by Legs and Co. They did it with several of the 1978...

I agree but there are so many whingers here in the UK that the BBC are most likely just trying to avoid the inevitable fall out. I suspect they may show some but not for a very long time. Which makes it an even bigger shame that BBC4 did away with 1964 -1975 in one 90 minute programme. There are...

The old problem of US tv's displaying PAL seems to have gone away now that players and displays upscale to 1080.

I wouldn't waste your time writing to Network . They don't need any kind of campaign for them to release Space 1999 Y2 on Bluray. They have already remastered The Bringers of Wonder to HD and it was presented at the recent Andercon a couple of months back . They are well aware that lots of...

I was pointing out that a "new release" has been out before and that the new set includes nothing new. Which could make it possible to buy the existing version at a cheaper price . I didn't say that you'd said whether any of the titles had been released before . Network regularly...

All the uncut versions available are 4:3 although I've not compared them to anything to see if they are open matte or cropped

The Film4 version looks anything but restored and is only a tad better than the Vipco dvd. My point was that the BFI appear to at least have a copy of the film uncut so it's something Shout could use to complete their pristine cut copy although the visual jump would be quite jarring if nothing...

Here in the UK Chrome now cleared of warnings

As already posted , they have updated the original announcement but it seems only via Facebook. Now they have more information perhaps they'll contact the BFI again

I've had the Imavision , UK and Dutch dvd sets over the years and I know the former had them the wrong way round . I assume they were in production order on the dvd . Broadcast order is rarely the same as production order and in most cases , even with a show like LHoP there's rarely any plot...

This time Chrome blocked me and when I went to proceed it came up with a long list of the affected places . I proceeded anyway

This sort of content is often not region coded so you could go for it . Of course if coding is an issue ( or even PAL) both can be got round by using the computer for playback . If PAL playback is not an issue you can remove the region code if there is one by making a copy

I've not heard of any of those shows but Network have deals with the 3 current owners of the ITV library which although dating back to 1955 is unlikely to include much from that era . With the exception of Robin Hood , ITC's first series and shot on film there's nothing left from that era as...

Here in the UK Chrome , Firefox and IE all blocked my access to the site. Chrome was the only one where it offered me the option to proceed anyway. A Google search on any browser now brings up "This site may harm your computer" next to the HTF listing

Do you have the elapsed time for the point where the problem is just so I can be sure I am looking at the right sections. I checked on my Panny player and it was the same - no icon and no choice of effects. With my laptop player I can bring up a list of options while the disc is playing . If...

That DVD Drive In is the news story as it appeared when I saw the first announcement. More recently it was said there would be a slight delay due to them needing to obtain the uncut scenes from elsewhere which is why I wondered if that job was complete now there was another announcement on HTF...

I've checked both scenes where Spock is fiddling with the tricorder and the scenes play the same whether old or new effects are selected but there appears to be nothing new - it all looks like the original footage . No icon in sight and clicking the movie camera to switch between old and new has...

Is this the scene where Spock gets the tricorder going and is able to view Edith Keelers involvment with the Nazis? I'm in the UK but my season 1 Blu set is a US set preordered when it was a new release so I will check it . Edit - I am mistaken . My Season 1 is UK , its season 2 and 3 that are...

The UK set is fully restored even to the point where all the episode footage included in the opening titles has been restored and reinserted at higher quality than before . There are 3 discs of bonus features including several thousand mostly unseen photos and also a high quality rather detailed...

I'm in the UK so your player may be different to what we get here. If your player is of the unknown brand variety I believe UK players can also have this issue and it seems to be a shortcoming of budget players. I've not seen any problems listed here by owners of players from the likes of...

The only good thing about the earlier Trek dvd's is they had 5.1 mixes of the ORIGINAL soundtracks . (UK releases at least) The Blurays only have surround remixes for the new soundtracks which often include new sound effects to go with the visuals and the levels between music and dialogue has...

The Reunion documentary that reunites Roger Moore , Richard Kiel , Britt Ekland and others is repeated on Friday morning 9am UK time on BBC Radio 4. It's likely to be available on the Iplayer also but I'm not sure if US listeners can gain access

I pre-ordered this from Amazon many weeks ago. Was there no link on here before today ? Could have sworn it was this site that alerted me to the release. Does this mean they've sorted out the delay . I read that because they wanted to release Vault uncut and that MGM didn't have an uncut version...
