Well, it still is much easier to record on VHS than DVD, imo.

All The Hour episodes are archived online... I'm not sure if it's blocked for US IP addresses or not, but if it is, one of us will rip it for you guys.

Probably very compressed versions though? Capturing the cable stream on a DVR and transferring to a computer is much bette, or a VHS transferred to computer, is better quality than a lot of the online media I've seen.

Josh -

If I record it live from Cable TV to a DVD burner and send you a copy of the DVD, would that work?

That'd be awesome! If the DVD burner has video/audio quality settings on the DVD burner be sure to turn them up to the maximum (LPCM or PCM audio and whatever is the highest bitrate/quality of video). Thanks!! :duncan:

I'll try to capture and upload from cable. I'll update after the airing, let me know then where I need to send it if anywhere. I only have 0.50 mbps upload speed so I may need to compress it to upload it... depending on what size I end up with.

Compression = evil.

you might be able to find it ripped online even... i mean... im no expert on downloading capped stuff from various tv sources or anything but theres a tonne out there.. i mean.. just last week i found every NCAA Div I and II football game from the past 3 years + all CFL, NFL and i think even some NFL europe games... then theres also the boatload of other shows i didnt download ever. :nod:

Well... George makes me all warm and fuzzy and makes me feel better, so it works. :nod:

According to OLP's Twitter, it looks like they are going to be part of The Hour's Holiday special on December 24, on CBC! That should be interesting. I wonder if it will be live... you wouldn't expect the guys to be away from their families on Holiday Eve.

Its actually on the 21st, OLPs Tweet was wrong. And its not live, I just saw a very short clip of Raine singing Elvis! A must see for sure!

Well, the special is being played again on December 24. It originally airs on the 21 though.

...oh so many George posts to reply to. This is what Internet heaven must be like.

:lol:

This is an interview with OLP from 2002, right after Gravity was released. I found it so funny at about 2:40 when the interviewer asks Raine why Gravity was so different than Spiritual Machines, and Raine literally says "that album was so heavy, so intricate and became overshadowed by the book (The Age of Spiritual Machines). I don't want to hear about that book for another 10 years".... well, looks like he really meant 10 years!! Maybe we've finally found out the reason for this tour!

LOL

EDIT: Here's another of them playing at House of Blues in 2001 (which is interesting cause they just played there a few months ago)
