I'm not one to agree with boris (as you'll note from other threads), but I didn't read this statement as being any sort of condemnation of baby hum. Rather, I took it to be more of a lament that here at OT.com, even a guy like baby hum who has given a lot to the community, can't get a (reasonably) simple request filled. Sort of like, "if you want it done right, you're going to have to do it yourself."

Which, sadly, I think is about right. There are relatively few people producing content (e.g. baby hum), and a whole bunch more who could be classified as freeloaders. Including me.

Baby hum, I suspect you might have more luck soliciting the cash to be able to sign up for Sky again yourself than you will getting a capture done to your high-quality specs. I'd prolly huck a few bucks (quid?) your way if I knew where to send it, but since I don't live anywhere near a place Sky broadcasts nor own a DVD recorder, I absolutely can't help out with the actual mechanics of capping for you. I'll bet there are dozens of people here on OT.com that are in my same sort of boat.
