    Set the recorder if you're out, the trailer was funny enough on its own.

    For those of us with Sky HD, it's going to be shown on BBC HD at the same time too

    I need to figure out how you can burn to DVD to an external writer from the V+ box. I know its possible.

    But at the same time, if you ask Virign nicely now they will do a deal on a second V+ box

    Really?


    I can record it easily with my freeview PVR or HTPC, but it'd be nice to have the HD for posterity
