May. 7th, 2006 03:05 pmThe BBC website has lots of bits for download that were not in the episodes or confidentials. But lacks mostly bits that were on the TV.
I actually find that a bit annoying. I mean I get what they're aiming for, added value, website to be something that TV can't give you, but... Is a bit hard to get the whole story. I mean you have to hunt for things, and realise that the things with similar sounding labels to things you've already seen are not the same as on TV.
And also, the website stuff is, mostly, a bit lame. Because TV gets the best bits. Which I understand, they are a TV channel.
But it just ends up a bit annoying. You have to hunt, and then mostly its rubbish.
Also, realplayer. Nasty squishy sound, tiny pictures. Quick download, yeah, but where's the high quality option?
So anyways, not brilliant yet.
I'm going to shop for a new TV soon. I feel vaguely like I should wait until computer=TV+phone+everythingelse, but it has been theoretically possible to get my computer plugged in to my TV for years and I just never got around to figuring out how.
And also, my TV goes green and purple down the sides. Which is not helpful.
So a new TV I shall buy.
