Intriguing, when I watch, I always sense from the brief glimpses that the audience is/has just enjoyed a meal and drink in the studio for some reason,
No, that happens earlier, outside the studio, and very good it is too.

I'm not a great fan of reality but I do like television, especialy Gameshows like this.

James, I was going to read your post, but previous models strongly indicated that it's not worth my time.
Kyle, to save you the trouble I will paraphrase "Everybody was on drugs in 1970"

I'd be surprised if you could not also get it using the same dish on your roof plugged into a satellite freeview decoder...
You can, in fact, use the dish for both at the same time. Just make sure you use a splitter on the cable and pass the "powered" side of your splitter to the Sky box. There should have been no need for the power for the LNB (low noise blocker, apparently) but someone stuck the aerial the wrong way round on the satellite meaning all our channels are horizontally polarised where as Sky was supposed to be vertical. I think that's right but it doesn't matter now anyway.

inbuilt Freeview means you can't record it, right?
Correctomundo Threefer. If I may be so bold as to suggest building a HTPC to take care of the freeview recording? the cost works out little different to buying a freeview box and recorder and you get the added bonus of a proper computer to boot. Then mum can do all her eMailing and Goggling and such from the comfort of the couch.

Oh, and TVNZ on demand, why bother? What's the point of
"I Demand Crap Right Now"? -
Can anyone point me to a good webpage on how to buy a TV in the 2010s?
I've allways found these two sites handy for that sort of thing.
PC World and C Net. (relevant pages)
Of course it depends if you're buying new or second hand, if yer flush with cash I'd go for the Samsung LED TVs, if not you want as many inputs as possible and a screen as big as you can afford. ;-) -
If God really was angry about HCR in the US...
Apparently he had his kid nailed to a piece of wood for healing the sick or something so who knows?

When it's all over and the punters return to their respective countries I can imagine the conversations down the pub...
"clean green New Zealand my arse, they stuck us on a bleedin' wharf and sold us crappy sweet beer fer three quid a can. Not to mention all those wankers on the cruise ships chuckin' their crap at us. Waited two hours for a bleedin' train that chugged along as fast as a snail only to get us to bleedin' Edin Park in time for the final whistle. cunts"
Bloody whinging Poms eh!. -
How does one befriend these custard people?
I, for one, welcome the Yellow peril. Trade agreements may pave the way to closer ties but there maybe some cravats.
I'll get my passport.
