Could do with some of these, but they're prohibitively expensive at the moment. I'd avoid the first generation ones (better safe than sorry, although Crucial's were rel...

Re: Freeview retune..

Yes mate.. I'd forgotten about that. Though you can get HD on freesat, I don't think it's migrated to freeview yet so for those who already have HD capable kit, they'll be quids in without having to fork out any extra..

Tom was telling the line waiting to board the Sentry how he'd been recording the stories told by the Bomber Command veterans he met through the RAFA, and (along with other research) put the book together to ke...
