Inventions Andy would like #6455

A website where you could store programs you'd like to see when they get repeated, and it would tell you before they were on.

I'd love to see The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, but it's not scheduled anywhere at the moment and I have no easy way of telling when it will be.

Woo hoo!! That thingy you installed just told me there were new Friends entries!! Wa- hey!! I feel like I am living in skiffy mad scientist paradise here. (OK maybe I m a BIT over -excited..)

Yeah, the client's great. You can set up all sorts of options and whatnot and spend so much time playing with it that you forget to either post or finish your Zine.

Reginald Perrin was fabulous. I loved the concept of Grot. The scary thing is, people do it for real these days, with nary a tongue touching the inside of cheek. Very worrying. You only have to look at the 'gift' pages of the Argos catalogue to see it. Crystal dolphins *shudder*

You mean something like this? (http://www.mydigiguide.co.uk/index_front.shtml)

It's limited to 3 channels and has the fancy stuff like reminders disabled unless you pay for it though.

Thats one of the joys of a TiVO (or most other PVR's). You can set search lists like 'please record me any show with Reinald Perrin in he title'.
