Hehehe, true! Winter has been knocking on the door here and overnight it 
has finally come with a vengeance with snowfalls and roads blocked not 
far from here! Can't wait to escape this!

Sound advice as always.

Unfortunately I can no longer access the forum as I've been banned, 
presumably for having the temerity to speak against TWIMBO (Them Who 
Must Be Obeyed)! No loss, I don't like rudeness.

And back to you dear friend. I'm currently going through the programme 
schedules to identify what I wish to record over the coming week on my 
Humax and what to download using my GIP batch file! I get into Manila on 
Wednesday morning and to Davao in the early evening. We'll spend a few 
days there before hitting base late on Saturday! Hopefully no BBC 
glitches while I'm on the road! It's going to be a shock accessing the 
net at 1Mbps compared to the current 200! Ouch! Take care.
