How do you capture the screenshot? You got it from TV itself or through the Live Feed? Can kindly teach me? Very Happy


When I used to watch it via an online stream, I just pressed "Print Screen" on the keyboard, then pasted that into something like Paint, select the bit you want, and save it. I imagine there's a much better way of doing it now, as it's two or three years since I last did it.

Soft question time again, but if we are not supposed to see this channel in the UK, then why did they put it to air that one recent lunchtime in place of the UK BBC1 news, when they had that evacuation? (Only feed to hand ?)

(In fact, what was the reason for running it overnight, the night of Di's death? Surely there was someone at the UK newsroom able to go to air for the time being, in fact wasn't Martin Lewis on duty at the time, according to Meldrum ? He could've held things together for the UK audience, until someone just as senior came in to relieve him, or was this an oppotunity to 'try out' for what was to become the News 24/World overnight service that we all know & love?)

Surely BBC1 presentation surely should have covered the entire period themselves, with a filler of some sort(dunno about News 24) instead?

How much notice can a broadcaster have, to swop/change programming?

If fact, has anything ever been taken off air mid prog, due to legal reasons, rather than technical problems ?

(We know to material being taken off close to transmission, like the recent Michael Jackson ITV1 doc(did that ever get rescheduled BTW?) )

Is that the Martin Bashir one you are referring to? I'm sure it did get transmitted at the advertised time Confused

It was certainly on ITV1 scheduled for one night at about 1030.

It was certainly brought up on TV Forum at the time, as being pulled.

I thought it did, but it turned out I had to go to a Governers' Meeting
