Its the plasma in the background that I always notice. The Granada Reports title on the screen always looks over-stretched and out of proportion, but luckily its been changed today on the bulletin. Also, i'm noticing a green colour on the news desk. Its not the reflection of a chroma key background, because the screen is genuine.


Yes, I noticed that the background on the plasma had been changed. Here's a cap.

You don't have to have a TV Capture card - I record things onto a DVD-RAM disc and use a clever piece of software called "MPEG2VCR" to get MPEG2 files and then I take snapshots or package them up...

All you need is -
A DVD Recorder which has DVD-RAM capabilities
A DVD Drive which can read DVD-RAM discs
A MPEG2 Decoder

It may work with DVD+R/-R discs as well...

Just to show you it does work...

And if you have Sky you can record nearly all the regional news programmes... Smile

Cool!
Unfortunately, I don't have a DVD recorder. I have everything else, just not that one. I do also have all the regions, watch every single one of them in each regional slot...lol.
Thanks for that anyway!

Shame... Sad I am hoping to get Sky in my room so I can use a proper capture card... but its a long way until September!

Lol...I remember seeing a really good capturer in the "Stuff" magazine. Its the Miglia Director's Cut Take 2, it may be £230 but it's well worth it! You'll be able to find out more at www.miglia.com.

If only ITV1 went FTA I wouldn't even need a Sky box...

Well, today was the new bulletin in the new Lunchtime news. Tony said it was "the New ITV Day Lunchtime News from Granada." There were also some new camera shots in the bulletin. Also note that the background on the plasma has changed back to normal. Here's some caps.

Arrow Tony also made a mistake saying that the weather was with Debbie Lindley, when it was Kerrie Gosney.

There must have been an error at London as the same thing happened on ITV Wales - we just heard the presenter coughing.

I got a feeling it might have been a national thing, you know being in Selby and all.
