Stupid DVR

There was I was, busy recording Flashpoint and Primeval, and then, went back to watch, nothing. nada. ARGH!!! It malfunctioned. Turned off, and tried recording again. Sure, NOW it works. Now, I can hopefully get Primeval on the midnight viewing if nothing goes wonky, or wait till budget is better and just buy the darned show, but Flashpoint isn't out on DVD yet.

Stomps feet. Gnashes teeth. Whimpers....

I think CBS puts Flashpoint up on their website pretty quickly, if that helps.

Thx. I did watch it, while it was on, but missed the beginning, so THAT's when I discovered DVR screwed up. Yeah, I'll check out CBS. had to do it with season 2 premiere when power company turned off power - of course, ONLY during Flashpoint.

Or try one of these sites - I find that they tend to be reasonably good:

That's how I watch it over here in the UK 'cos I can't wait for the TV over here to catch up! It's not showing the latter half of Season 2 yet - though bizarrely they did show the first 2 or 3 episodes as if they were part of Season 1!

Thx. I'll probably check out CBS online as that worked pretty well for me once before.

Huh. That happened to us as well. I tried prerecording a show but the record wouldn't come on, yet the regular record worked fine.

Strange days in the land of DVR :/

Hmm, strange indeed!

And I doubt you get BBC America but S2 (or whatever they are calling it/starting it at) starts 5/16. The promo they have for it-eep!

Alas, do not get BBC AMerica. Wish I did!

Flashpoint on dvd

Quick, move to the UK! Flashpoint came out on dvd on Easter Monday. I bought. I've watched it all through and started watching again last night! After 13 brilliant episodes on ITV3, I can only hope the channel pick up season 2 early next year. I hope they'll rerun it before then too.

I wish! Don't know why canadian shows appear on DVD in the UK but not North America!
