	DCblog: On TV language blockbusters - not (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		A correspondent, after watching recent television blockbuster series on Romans, kings and queens, babies, and assorted plants and animals, asks me if there has ever been a comparable series on language, and if not, why not?
		And if there are no people around, you show what they left behind them - their inscriptions and documents, especially.
		In this respect, language is no different from a programme on archaeology or anthropology.

	Satellite tv in vancouver, BC - Save time and money. Compare prices on a satellite TV service. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Whether Satellite TV activity is grey market or fl market is the source of often heated debate between those who would like greater choice and those who argue that the protection of Canadian firms and Canadian culture is more important.
		Canadian satellite TV providers continue to be plagued by the fl market devices which pirate or tale their satellite TV signals as well as by a number of otherwise completely lawful devices which can be reprogrammed to receive pirate Satellite TV.
		One cable TV CEO (Karl Péladeau of Québecor, which owns Vidéotron) is on public record as demanding conditions be placed on the CRTC license issued to Bell ExpressVu, due to BEV's reputation for vastly inferior security compared to its cable rivals and Shaw Cable-owned StarChoice.

	TV COMMENT Y2k
		The programme seemed to just leave the age-old belief; I you watch a TV programme or film, or play a computer game of an explicit nature, and your actions as a result match that, you seriously need a reality check.
		This programme was of more interest to me as a Business Student, than as a TV critic, and I don't think it would have kept the majority of viewers interested, considering schedules are saturated with documentaries.
		A sure sign of a classic tv show is one that you want to watch daily (hence no soaps fall in to this category), and I’m glad that the show only lasted two series, as most successful programmes have a habit of running themselves in to the ground.

	Thoughts on the Programme Problem
		As to video programmes, there are circumstances where these are "legal" (the copyright holders will usually grant permission to show videos of a TV programme if one of the actors is present), but we could really do with a clarification of the law and its chances of enforcement in this area.
		While programme items like this could be rather useful (ie care and feeding of: duplicators, projectors, wordprocessors, agents, whatever), a workshop should really be more participatory, Also, almost by definition, they have a fairly low ceiling on number of participants.
		Of course, not everyone goes to cons for the programme, and there is a certain implication that the programme items are for the shy new faces to hide in until they're either driven away by boredom or they get to know more people at cons.

	The Scotsman - Opinion - PLATFORM: Simon Mallinson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Scottish Enterprise has said it is shelving a "bigger vision for a national film and TV studio" for what has been described as "a compromise proposal" - a studio for TV and film productions.
		Yesterday’s headlines may have given the impression that the curtain was being brought down on a film studio, but in reality Scottish Enterprise, under its director of creative services, David Reilly, has brought to a close much of the misunderstanding that has surrounded the debate about a film studio.
		TV and commercial producers and film-makers know what is needed and, as importantly, the amount of work the industry will provide to sustain such a project.

		The result is a compelling home computer game where the utilitarian graphics work well and the sufficiency of questions make for plenty of playability.
