Either learn linux (nice ask, isn't it?), or find someone friendly who might be able to help you with making the slices. Maybe someone else who has a TiVo in Sweden could help? TiVo - TiVo in Sweden Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.kitschcamppalace.org.uk/content/view/137/ We moved to Sweden a couple of years ago. One of the things that we loved in the UK was our TiVo. Not being able to TiVo Swedish TV has made watching Swedish TV painful. The Viasat+ (http://www.viasat.se) box we had is dreadful - it's actually worse than the UK Sky+ box it is based on - amazing but true!This is our journey to a real Swedish TiVo.

Our old one got damaged in the high winds 2 years ago, and we've been saving up ever since. So now we are the proud owners of an Andrews 1.8m dish.

I got to the hotel, checked in, got to my hotel room, and spent virtually all day and night asleep.I've honestly never felt quite so rotten and tired as I did yesterday.Then late on in the afternoon I had a phone call from reception to say that a safari trip was going the next morning, would I like to go. Sure, I said. It's a 7am start, they said. Urgh, I thought. Last thing I need... another early night. But I was up at 6am, had breakfast, and ready for the trip to the Nairobi Safari Park.

The All New Blog - Travel Sat, 20 Sep 2008 10:11:05 +0100 http://www.kitschcamppalace.org.uk/content/view/133/36/ It's a bit later than I envisaged being online, and I'm acutely aware that recently I only seem to have blogged when something bad has happened. Hey, guess what... The All New Blog - Travel Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:45:20 +0100 http://www.kitschcamppalace.org.uk/content/view/63/36/ It's now about 24 hours since I set off for Croatia. I still wonder quite whether I am awake or not, or in some super surreal dream.It all started normal enough, I checked in my bags, and went to the lounge to relax before boarding, I boarded, actually had a lovely meal and service on the plane (thanks Lauda Air!). I changed flights in Vienna, and landed in Zagreb at 1445. I got through passport control, all normal enough, and then to the luggage belt where 3 bags went round, and no more. No more! No more! shouted the man at me, and ushered me out of the arrivals hall. I found the baggage handlers office, and said my bags had gone missing. They were nice enough, and asked for descriptions, baggage tags, etc, and checked the computer. Apparently they had gone to another airport beginning with Z . Unfortunately they were not more specific than that, and I just hoped it wasn't Zimbabwe or Zambia as it would then be quite a wait for the bags to arrive... The All New Blog - Travel Tue, 27 Mar 2007 01:00:00 +0100 http://www.kitschcamppalace.org.uk/content/view/55/36/ This morning was the time I had been waiting for all week. The late nights, early mornings and weekend travel were made worthwhile by the chance to have Friday for myself. Friday was the day I could finally get to see Cairo and Giza for myself. The All New Blog - Travel Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:00:00 +0100 http://www.kitschcamppalace.org.uk/content/view/42/ I bought the domain on a whim in 2000, and threw up some pages.The pages got unmanageable, so they festered.Hopefully this new version of the website will work better :)The material from the old site is here, and hopefully easier to find.
