Top gear tonights episode - SKY box - arrggh

Hodders · 18 Nov 2007 at 22:02

My sky box just had a hissy fit when starting to play back tonight's episode (Civic Type R)

The result a corrupt program that had to be deleted.

Can I download the episode from anywhere official - BBC watch again sort of thing ?

Just checked iPlayer, the last episode doens't seem to be on it yet - how long does it normally take - does anybody know ?

Really weird my media PC failed to playback top gear aswell saying it was a corrupt file also, should be able to download the episode tomorrow although not from anywhere official.

BBC always used to have a nice stream to be found on the website immediately after airing. I used to use it to watch in Halls if the girls had nicked the TV in the common for a film.

BBC Iplayer has top gear on. But not sure when it will become available

how queer, my sky+ box threw a wobbly at it tonight too, thought it was something to do with having long way down set to record and it all overrunning by about 3 or 4 minutes.

I often wonder if it is just my box or if lots of people have an identical problem.

Any body have the same issue ?

The snow prolly messed the digital signal ? I had to switch over to analogue as it kept locking up.

yep, my mce decided to chop the end off aswell, argghhh!!!! so seen about half of campervan race

it may have something to do with the program being late to air, not much about 2 mins
so the start time was 8:02 not sure how this would affect the recording???

i managed to download a copy last night as i missed the first 15 mins ;-/

not on I-player yet though.....do a google on 'topgear 18th november 2007'.....easy to find.

Does Sky not have the Catch Up TV thing that Virgin has?
