"24 Season 3 - Tonight"

Just a reminder to everyone, because like you'd forget this (!) that 24 Season 3 starts on Sky One tonight at 9PM - with no editing out either.

From the trailers it looks rather excellent..."You have a virus"...

Thanks for the reminder.

As for downloading them, well it is possible to get hold of TV quality files. It isn't that it is better quality on TV, it's that the monitor is too high quality. 1024 by 768 as opposed to a TV's 640 by 480. Hence graininess.

And the other problem: according to the sky listings (well last night anyway) it is on until 10:15. So you can't watch Friends at 10 on E4 + 1.

So watch it tomorrow night instead.

Damn right. The BBC are idiots not to get this series this time around, I mean, why not stick 24 on BBC 1 one night instead of wanting it to stay on BBC 2? Some of the stuff on BBC 1 is utter sh!te, in fact a lot of it is.

I stick them on CDs and watch them on my telly. I like going out on a Thursday (and Sundays when the BBC showed them before) so I would have to video a lot of them anyway - and my video is a crappy Asda job so the quality is way below an SVCD.

Yeah, that was pretty bleeding annoying last season as well. Should have been in the Hutton Report.

I honestly can't wait.
Woohoo!

I think its a waste of time downloading the episodes from places, who wants to watch grainy stuff on a monitor when you can watch it on a much larger screen in higher quality?

Use E4 +1 . go 24 at 9, Friends at 10, ER 10:30. As far as I know no one has signed it up for terrestrial tv. BBC was going to have it but the producers wanted them to run the show in 24 consecutive slots (without the breaks for tennis, snooker etc) and the BBC wouldn't.

Sky are idiots why didn't they pick another day or a weekend it's the same time as Friends and ER?!

terrestrial tv,when?

You might change your mind when you get to the end of episode 8. Oh, the horror, the sacrilege...

I've d/led the first ten episodes since i don't have Sky either. Will watch the first one tonight to pretend like I'm the same as everyone else.
