Woohoo - brilliant. The Chris Tarrant journey was superb IMHO. I think I need to buy another Humax Freesat box on their Managers' Specials, as the Guide/Menu on the older ones is becoming a PITA 
Just think - a whole Humax PVR dedicated to Train & Car stuff!

I was actually catching up on my recordings of GCRJ Series III last night (St Petersburg - fascinating history Portillo digs out) and identified it managed to record all episodes without a failure. Well pleased as I thought I would have to buy the DVD, which I did for S1 + 2. The Black Forest to Hannover episode is one of his best.
