Did you see them, or just what you read? as I think I have two stores near me, may be worth a visit.

You were ripped off.

Children of Men was on ITV4 last night.

Yup I watched it for the first time, good stuff!

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 08 Apr 2009, 18:28

I turned it over to look at it to see if it was that film, and it was seems quick to be on TV, but then it was nearly 3 years ago! scary.

Looked absolute dogshit quality mind you, 100% unwatchable on my TV the signal is going back in time around our area I think.

HD all the way for that film, stunning transfer on it. Worth £1 of anyone's cash

or £15

there's a Danish blu-ray of it i believe.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 08 Apr 2009, 18:33

The picture on my TV was pretty good actually. I'll pick it up on BD when it comes out.

Yeah but round ours we live in a black out area of lego TV

not even worth considering watching TV round ours, yet we have to pay the licence the same as other mugs! yet they get watchable TV.

Do you reckon you'll ever be happy with Freeview Romero? No offence but you're so picky nothing will make you happy, with it. Sure some channels are pants but most are perfectly watchable. It's only TV not a move, that's how I look at it anyway.

saltysam wrote:there's a Danish blu-ray of it i believe.

There is but it only has DD5.1 and is barebones. It's odd it was ITV4 though.

Even with a big booster aerial? We have a massive one in the loft which sorts the whole house out with good reception.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Apr 2009, 20:42

I imagine that would fix it but anyway I've had this discussion with Romero before.

When is your analogue switch off Romero? Mine is Spring next year. I'd only have had digitial for a decade by then

. About bloody time. Now come on BBC/Freesat bring the iPlayer to Freesat (like Virgin already has)!

For me the next big change should come with Freeview HD, due later this year. As I cannot get a satellite dish (which knocks out Freesat for now), this should be my best bet to get free HD TV.

It's lucky for you all those bankers like to spend their bonuses on rentboys.

Its never gonna happen ever in our area ever, we are in a total blackspot, we had a 9 foot pylon on the roof with an very expensive signal booster and the signal is still total shit. A car starts its engine outside and the screen goes black, thats how fucked up our signal is.

Good job I dont watch TV anyway, or I would be really pissed off

lmao, never one to exaggerate are you Romero

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Apr 2009, 13:50

Classic

. Years back off-road motorbikes (lots of them) sometimes caused picture break up but it went completely.

Besides Romero should know that Freeview is and never has run at full power, when digital switch off starts properly it will get better, as the airwaves get freed up. In other words, it could very well get better for Romero.

As I've said before you should invest in Freesat.

Exaggerate? not a word spoken by me here was even close to that. We have Zero signal quality and yes cars knock our screens off (not just mine, we have 3 screens in the house, all the same problem), even my fan I have in my room, if I turn it on the signal gets chopped up.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Apr 2009, 15:53

If you had zero signal quality it wouldn't work period.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 09 Apr 2009, 16:01

Not at all, if its a scale of 0-10 then you can still watch 0

just means its shit.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 09 Apr 2009, 19:24

In Romero's world, zero doesn't mean zero.

Dude, if you get 0 quality on digital it's useless
