    The reason it took so long to get the video off of my PVR was that the USB port was only USB1.0 (even though USB2 had been around for years when I bought it).
    Speaking of luck - the biggest break of the day was the double decker bus shot. I remember Sky cut to the studio within a couple of seconds of the bus moving through the shot. And we'd already decided it was too much of a long shot to make another attempt.
    I still have the map posters I bought for this somewhere...

I'd find it weird to see those channels upload something that isn't 1440p or above. A bunch of kids my age have had huge flat screen TVs since before they've learned how to spell 'Apple'.

      They wouldn't have any issues doing that in the US with getting arrested. The biggest issue would be that 'news' happens so spread out here, they'd certainly have to time it to coincide with an election/inauguration/natural disaster/terrorist attack. Beyond that, the only way to do it would be to do the circuit in NYC where you stand outside the various morning show windows.

    In the U.S., "breaking the news" means to find a way to gently tell someone that something awful has happened ... I watched this for 16 min before I heard what you meant by this phrase. Good thing you guys are fun to listen to! (and I'm glad there was no bad news herein) :)

      What the video... that's not what they meant by it. But good to know the expression means the same thing over there, and it's just Matt and Tom who have a different meaning for it. Thanks!
