So here's a cute pic of a mummy goose and her goslings


I know a few of my flisties expressed interest in Hinterland back when it aired on BBC Wales earlier this year, but weren't able to watch it, so here's a head's up that it's being shown nationwide on BBC4 beginning next Monday, April 28. If you like your detective drama on the noir side, this show is for you!

This is why I'm glad I gave in and got Tivo - I can just set up to record a series and never have to worry about forgetting it's on! Which is ideal for me because I watch so little live TV I never remember to actually sit down and watch something when it airs...

Yeah - I almost bought a Smart tv(which I think has the same Tivo-type function) when I first got back, for just that reason. I never remember, and the internet's slow enough here that iPlayer isn't a great alternative... I'm back to being in-between places though, and thought I'd delay, but... well, you can delay your whole life that way, can't you. Maybe I should just squint sideways at my bank account and do it... *g*

Does freeview give access to iPlayer? I get really confused about these things!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

No, iPlayer is over the internet, and Freeview is just on televisions. Unless you have a "smart" television (i.e. one that's not a gazillion years old, from back before the pre-digital age... *g*), which connects to the internet. At least that's how I understand it so far. The whole being able to watch a programme from the beginning even though you missed the first five minutes, and everyone else is give minutes ahead of you is totally in the realms of fairy magic to me, though... *g*

Hmm. I've always had iPlayer through my TV via the digi-box, so I'd assumed that freeview boxes gave the same access - it doesn't let you watch a programme while it's still on, but they go up quickly enough afterward. Tivo, though, that does let me watch a programme while it's still on, if I miss the beginning.

It's all magic, really.
