Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


I must add my appreciation to mce x 2 and to Anywho x 2.

On another matter: the ABC iView Messageboard makes good reading - and a warning (see later).

Occasionally a program is not at all what it seems!

Ashes to Ashes Se 2 Ep 3 is actually Ep 2

La Stupenda is not Joan Sutherland

Gimme Gimme Gimme - Episode 7

Each of these is something different than its episode title (or even the show). I must admit I'm not a great fan of any of these, though.

Also, saw that early October, ABC Evening News was the same day's news, for about 4 days in a row, even though the date changed each day!

This post is not intended as a criticism of iView staff (I've done enough of that, and they get heaps I think judging by the Messageboard), but if people are going to schedule a lot of downloads it's a warning that they may not be what you think!

In the past, I've had technical glitches within an episode (and there are occasional reports on iView Messageboard about bad synch between audio and video - not to mention CC that are very badly out). When these are mentioned on the Messageboard, and the Moderator reads them, then a few days later there may be a fixed version mounted (with an absence for a day or three).
