Just read on GF that Sky Arts in the UK are broadcasting the 2007 AVO promo session... in HD!
I don't have Sky unfortunately, let alone Sky HD. :(
Anyone here able to record it? Even if you don't have HD would be good to record it, Donegan's Gone was cut, but maybe it will turn up on here.
But wouldn't it be great to get this in HD??!!
22nd August.

Great droopy breasts, yes! ;) but I prefer the stubbles version :P
-
so is anyone taping the hd avo sessions??
all this dribble about a certain wannabe doc makes me nervous...
-
I could tape it - but i dont have a HD DVD recorder - this means although i can watch in glorious HD - my DVD recording will only be of "normal" DVD quality..... ???
-
My understanding is that Sky HD boxes have recording features built in.
It's getting the show OFF the box in HD quality that is the difficult part...
-
Your right - the HD box has IIRC 250gb of internal storage...
Your also right - getting it off in HD will be the challenge...
That said though, i recall you mentioning you didnt have sky HD - but can you view HD content through other means should someone provide you with a HD DVD...?? :)
-
Like many others I have a laptop which I connect to my LCD tv to watch things in HD. :)
-
Ah - a cunning plan indeed...! ;D
Well the offer is there - but as i said - i cant DVD HD content..... :-[
-
Well, if you record it in HD in the first instance, we can try to get it off at a later date. :)
-
Sure - it can sit on my sky box hard drive for a while - no problem... ;)
-
Asked for technical advice on another forum I'm a member of but ran into an arsehole: ::)

oh well - maybe another member on that site will provide a more 'meaningful' response..... ;)
-
the name does give away some clue.
also, nice advertising dusty!!

Sensible reply at last, seems we need one of these:

Dont know if this will work - mine is a new Samsung box..... ???
.....but maybe one of the other forum members who have HD may have an older box.....

I found some (maybe) helpfull posts on that forum from Dusty

there I found this software : http://www.skycopyplus.co.uk/ (http://www.skycopyplus.co.uk/)
It is a program to copy, backup and restore your Samsung HD, but then you have to open your Samsung.

Easy then Schmonka! All you have to do is open up the Samsung. Piece of piss.
-
how the f. can you have a "piece" of piss? ??? :o :o
-
Just a great British (maybe Scottish?) saying, meaning "easy".
Example:
Col Gadaffi: "Tony, before we can give you the oil, we need you to let the Lockerbie bomber out."
Tony Blair: "No problem, piece of piss."
-
I know the meaning behind piece of piss - and understand that its a saying for something being supposedly VERY easy - but this doesnt look easy and definitely NOT a piece of piss!!
One of the links talks about upgrading the hard disk drive of the samsung box - to a 1 TB size - and yes this is something i want to do in the future when my 1 year sky garantee is up - ok - thats straighforward-ish - ill accept - but how does me increasing the size of my hard drive allow me to take off HD programmes....???? ???
The second link talks about a system called 'copy +' - and yes i can see that being useful - but its requirements are "To use Copy+ you will need Microsoft Windows XP or Vista" - and unfortunately in Schmonka Towers - there are no windows machines in this house - only Mac's!! ;D
Any lastly - no matter how much i love you guys - im not even if i could open up my samsung - remove the Hard Drive - connect it to my PC and do this copy thing - then put it all back together!! ;)
....if its any consolation - the show is set to record tomorrow night...... ;D

i fully understood the piece of piss part, was just taking the piss dusty..

Well, record it anyway, then we have two options...
1. We all come round to your house to watch it.
2. If you do decide to upgrade your HD once your warranty runs out, keep this recording on the OLD HD, then send it to one of us with Windows to remove.

2 could be an option.......
I dont think 'er indoors' would appreciate an influx of Knuts!! ;D
-
So... did you watch it?
-
I did watch it and personally thought it was pants - hence the lack of review.
Donegan's Gone - This i would have loved to hear - but it was cut from the show!! >:(
Song for Sonny Liston - slow and lacked something....
Rudiger - this was a slower tempo than we are used to....
Let it all go.....yeah ok - this was alright - but really slow
The fizzy and true love - preferred The Fizzy to True love - had quite a 'hank' sound.....
DWB - heard it toooooo much and it put me off straight away.....
Postcards - probably the highlight of the show - just like the tune - but MK didn't look on top form even on this track....the crowd were like they didn't want to be there and clapped 'when they had to'
I dont know what it was about this "concert" - perhaps it was because RB and the worf weren't there - but it lacked something - Guy and Danny did a good job.....but if im honest - i was really disappointed..
Though i did find this download which may be of interest.....http://rapidshare.com/files/239818753/AVO_Session_2007_markknopflermusic.blogspot.com.rar (http://rapidshare.com/files/239818753/AVO_Session_2007_markknopflermusic.blogspot.com.rar)

In fact, when I saw that show on telly back in 2007, I was about to sell my concert tickets because I couldn

When I watched this promo in 2007 I, too, thought that MK was very off-form. He looked tired, as though he hadn't slept all night or else wasn't very well. The only songs I really enjoyed were "DWB", "Postcards" and an amazingly beautiful "BIA" which is my favourite of the 2007 promos. I don't think the Basel promo was anywhere near as good as Berlin, Amsterdam or Madrid. :-\
The performance of MK on this promo was not representative of his wonderful performances on the concerts on the KTGC tour that followed in 2008. :)
