Well it was there, but it seems to've disappeared....

Unless I've just gone temporarily blind....

I've been going through my stuff again and released that I've more doubles of KM books than I previously thought.

So if anyone wants a copy, look here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3503198654

I don't think it's fair to be hogging more than one copy, especially when fans are out there wanting their own copies and having none.

Anyway, I know this is probably not the best forum to post these such things, but there's no forum called 'Shameless plugs for selling your KM stuff'!!!!!

Another Blackadder fan, I see. Good for you.

What has my comment got to do with Blackadder?

Btw, did you see those kids in the background? They had absolutely no idea who any of them were!!

Quite what those stupid 9 year old children were doing, I have no idea. Around the same time as Grotbags was shown in 1992, they were only a glint in the milkman's eye!

Did the CITV presenters just go to some random school in Birmingham last month and pick a bunch of equally random children? They just got in the way.

The best bits I thought were the guests mind. Grotbags and Scally were rad, Roland Rat was cool and Matthew Kelly and Gary Terzza - just great.

And Jeanne Downs.....

I -LOVE- JEANNE DOWNS!!!!!

Don't forget to tune in to-morrow morning at 9.25 to see if Knightmare gets shown on ITV.

Remember to set your alarm clocks early.

And best of all, Tommy Boyd will be helping introduce the programmes!

Don't make yourself look anymore of a twit than you already have done.

&c

Well said Neil!

Just press the backup button DUH

no need to load it all up or log onto this and then press that, its a simple push on the backup button, its not rocket science,

and yes if u keep pressing the buttons over and over the digi box over heats and crashes, not always the case but it does happen and can damage bits inside,

Are you on drugs? Seriously.

Yes your solution gets rid of the red dot, but it comes back after each break, usually a minute into the programme.

My solutions (and Neil's) get rid of the red dot until you change channels so there's no "few seconds of the red dot embarressment on your video recordings of Knightmare".

And Neil, is there any proof that pressing a couple of buttons will cause overheating and damage to a digibox? I really don't think so somehow......

u dont have to do that,

if the red button icon is on screen just press the "Backup" button at it will disapper, it will come back after the adds so u will then have to do it again,  it works on all the channels, and saves loading it and they turning it off wich will damage your box if u keep pressing the buttions and flapping around

Quite a laughable response - anyone know what the last sentence means? Using the remote control will damage your box?

Neil Jones' solution is one of the best ideas - here are some others which may work:

SOLUTION 1: (as per Neil Jones) When the Red Dot appears, press the red button on your remote, then quickly followed by the backup key. The red dot will then stay off until you change channel.

SOLUTION 2: Choose Challenge as an 'other channel'. On you remote select "SERVICES", then "4" (SYSTEM SETUP), Then "4" (ADD CHANNELS). You then need to enter the frequency (11739), polarisation (V), symbol rate (27.5), and FEC (2/3) applicable for Challenge, using the arrow keys to move between the options. For the frequency, enter this using the number keys on your remote, for the others use the left and right arrow keys to toggle between the options. If this is successful, you should see the following listed: UK Living, Challenge, Trouble, Bravo, TV Travel Shop and a few others. Move arrows to Challenge and press the yellow button to save it to the 'other channels' list.

Now - to access Challenge. Press "services", followed by "6" (Other channels), and it should be listed. Highlight, using the arrow keys, and press "select". You should now be viewing Challenge without the red dot!

(You lose the "Search and Scan" banner by doing this, you can't use the Planner to auto-change channels, and it's not exactly user friendly)

SOLUTION 3: (for Sky+ subscribers) Press PAUSE, then after a few seconds, press PLAY.

SOLUTION 4: There's a red dot removal device available, but it's only just been released and needs further research and developement in my opinion.

I hope the above solutions are useful to anyone who's recording the series on Challenge. Sort out the red dot removal before recording each episode, and make sure it works.

As for the Challenge symbol on the top right hand side, it's irremovable.

If you don't like all the on-screen clutter, I suggest you visit http://www.logofreetv.org.uk .

And if anyone intends on recording the series from Challenge and wouldn't mind making a copy available to me (Treguard?) then let me know.

I cancelled my personal Sky subscription recently due to rising costs.

Anyway,

Hope you're all going to have a nice new year.
