Every since I got V+ I manage to record a mass amount of tv but never have the time to watch it all. What this mean is that I have to delete unwatched stuff to make way for new programs. Now it has a dvd recorder function but this would mean I have to go out and buy one plus you can't edit the program so you still get the adverts which seems pointless. You can also put onto vhs but don't think I need to say anymore on the cons of that format. So now that I have my upgraded pc running I thing ill go with some sort of capture device for that and see how it goes.

Well after Gemma's laptop got a Vista Bug which meant all it would do was boot up into a black screen with with a moveable cursor I decided to finish building my nas. After some head banging I got samba working properly so we have individual private folders and I public one to share stuff. I managed to get the documents off her old disk and moved them onto the nas. Rebuilt vista on the laptop and set all the windows documents shortcuts to point the relevant folders on the nas rather than on the local drive. So if laptop ever crashes again all have to do is reinstall the os and relink folders without having to worry about data recovery etc.
