Does anyone know what font is this?

I'm not sure if you meant to attach a picture or send a link or something, but it's not come through! Also, just to let you know, this post would probably be best off in Requests.

Interesting Endboards

I just quickly checked the copies of series 1 on Netflix. All of them (including episodes 3 and 6) have this endboard. So which was the original? I guess the only way to find out is to find...

Have any one heard of this Middle Eastern kids channel?

Yes. I have seen it. Animation and cartoons are very popular with kids in the Middle East although locally produced material is only a fraction of that of foreign material.

BBC Four: 'Inner Peace' Season Idents

BBC Four "finds inner peace" by showing 180-second idents of tranquil scenes

Sidetracking to STV - with their idents, when they're upscaled SD shown on HD, the 'HD' tag doesn't appear on the logo form-up. Probably a case of not scheduling the correct presentation for the HD...

What is the best way to record from Tivo or V+?

Recording the best quality possible
