I have tv running into my computer, but don't get History International on my desk, meaning I can't record it into my computer. We have the digital cable boxes in the rest of the house, so I guess I have no choice but to park myself in teh living room for an hour this morning.

I watched it, and it was obviously pretty dated, but enjoyable. Some of the vintage material and layotus shown were exceptional.
Even though I am a die-hard Lionel guy, I can't help but gnash my teeth a bit over the way these types of documentary programs overly romanticize the "JLC" story. Likewise I hit my limit to the show as they were showing those hard-working industrious US workers at the Michigan facility building Lionel trains.
Now excuse me while I get my tounge surgically removed from my cheek.
Thanks for letting us know. I just sent an email to my DVR to record them (ain't technology great!).

I e-mailed Best Buy to send me an e-mailable DVR. I'm waiting for it to download!
Using Tivo to record the program, part of my DirecTV package!! With DirecTV and Tivo I can record programs up to 12 days or more away!
Another program to watch is one about steam locomotives on the same channel only a few hours later.
Will mention later if I liked the program.

Lee, do you think we really give a rat @#&% if you liked the program?
Just joking with ya, Lee!
Hey Jaabat,
Maybe you should give DirecTV a try as I don't have to wait to down load anything, all I do is call up the program guide and flip thru channels and time to record something, and most times I can record up to 12 days or more ahead of time, no need for a T.V. guide paper. Maybe I should mention that I have the premeir channel package with three or more HBO's and four Showtime channels.
Please leave your rats at home Jim or my five cats will have a light snack of rat meet.
Philly, It's nice to see you posting again. Enjoy the program.
Then go lay down!
Hey Jimbo,
Go read the post Bad Track ideas to avoid!

I'll say it again...Ain't technology great!
Nope,
I just checked and nowhere does it say anything about Toy Trains nor Steam Trains in the next 4 days.
Check again because its not right.
Cheese
Nick! :)
Are you looking for the "Voyager" program?

The History Channel is on most "basic" cable systems, but in many areas History International may only be available on an expanded version like Direct TV / Digital etc.
BTW is there a way to send my VCR an e-mail to make the "12:00" stop flashing??
