IanD1503559705 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I stuffed up the scheduling for the Melbourne Comedy Gala on CH 10 Monday and missed the beginning and the end. Does anyone have the full program to share?
KernelPanic Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Just remember that this is illegal. However, to begin my own personal rant: Unlike those lying ads you see in the cinemas, it is NOT stealing. If I steal something, you no longer have posession of it. If I steal a car, the owner no longer has that car. If I steal a cd from a cd shop, the cd shop no longer has that cd. If I make a perfect copy of a car, and drive that, its not stealing. Same with movies. If I download it, i am committing copyright infringement, NOT theft.

Man I am SOOO with you on this Thing that sh*ts me is, I buy a movie for my son (let's say Monster House on Blu-Ray) and pay RRP of $42.99 and then it get's scratched I'd have to go and buy another one. I make 'backups' of all the kids movies so if and when it does get scratched I can give him another one (he's just turned 5) I have over 1700 DVD's (almost all bought from the US) and the only 'copies' are the ones I make for my son (from MY originals) So I am all for breaking the copy protection (for personal use only) Same can be said for region coding, movies are cheaper in the US (and even more so now with the dollar) so why buy them from here at $40+ Back to the topic at hand. You didn't miss much. I have it all on a DVD-Ram disc. Best option, call the TV station and ask for a tape. Steve
charlesc Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Ian, I have the program, but like you am missing the very end. As far as I can see from the EPG the program was due to run from 20.30 for 2 hours. The capture stopped at 22.50, and is still missing the end of the show (probably not much). All I can say is I'm glad I don't have to rely on a system like the old G-Code. That would be next to useless with the way the networks muck around with the start and stop times for programming.

My old G-code vcr - was better than my pvr for this. I would enter the gcode, and then have a button to extend the recording by 15 minute increments. So I could type in the gcode, and then hit the button a couple of times to extend the recording by 30 minutes. I wish my pvr allowed this.

The capture stopped at 22.50, and is still missing the end of the show (probably not much). Not much, no. It finished at 22.53 - incidentally, the time Ten's newsbreaks during the show were actually advertising to be the start time of the news! Yep, the over-run was completely, deliberately scheduled. "Bondi Rescue" (or "Boredom Beach" as we call it around here) always runs 10 minutes overtime, by the way.
Neon Kitten Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Just remember that this is illegal. But, considering Ten's greedy, arrogant deliberate over-running, completely and totally morally right, so break the law and feel damn good about it. I have the end of the show if you want it, and I'm happy to encode it and send it to you. No ordinary consumer in this country has ever been prosecuted for copyright infringement for downloading or sharing television content. It's a pretty safe bet that nobody ever will be. Bear in mind that I and hundreds of thousands of others have been "breaking the law" for decades now by recording TV shows and sharing copies of them on VHS. However, to begin my own personal rant: Unlike those lying ads you see in the cinemas, it is NOT stealing. If I steal something, you no longer have posession of it. If I steal a car, the owner no longer has that car. If I steal a cd from a cd shop, the cd shop no longer has that cd. If I make a perfect copy of a car, and drive that, its not stealing. Same with movies. If I download it, i am committing copyright infringement, NOT theft. 100% agreed, which is why I despise the lying propaganda spread by the music and movie industries about the dollar value they "lose" because of "piracy". It is a complete fabrication, it's been proven beyond question to be a fabrication, and yet they continue to spread those lies with impunity, in the case of the movie industry punishing their paying customers with those insulting and non-skippable ads on their DVDs. And don't even get me started on Sony's new DVD copy protection method, which is hurting ONLY those who pay for legit discs. No wonder nobody feels guilty about so-called "illegal" downloading.

Meh, if the disc doesnt play on my player, i'll simply rip it from the dvd, and return the original for my money back because it isnt fit for sale as advertised. And i sure as hell wont feel guilty about it.
