AFAIK your best bet is to buy a DVD recorder with 320+gig HD, dump the data onto the DVD recorder then burn to usb or dvd /cd disc. I know a panasonic dvd recorder will do it. But havent tried it with foxtel myself. Some tech wizards on here might know of a better way. I looked into this a few yrs ago. I have a panasonic recorder that I use to record, then burn to dvd from the TV, But never invested in foxtel.There was info on the net about setting this up.

Who would have predicted this result. Not I. Best I was hoping for was to win the ashes back,it didnt matter to me if we only one 1 Test.So long as it was enough to win the series. The signs were there in England, We went down with the scoreline showing 3 nil in favour of the enemy. But to those not wearing rose coloured glasses that scoreline could and should have read a lot closer than 3 nil. With fortunes not running our way,weather affected results and disasterous descisions not going our way.We had no choice but to take it on the chin and move on. Enter the poms back into the ring, cocky, smug and thinking easy peasy. Just like the battle back in 1874, little did they know they were walking into an ambush. Just like Custer they failed to see the signs. We gave them a mouthful and they found themselves under attack from the 1st ball bowled. Unveiled a Mitch Johnson V2 with great support from Harris and Siddle the poms, never recovered. 1: Broke their spirit 2: Broke their back 3: Broke their hearts 4: Broke their bats 5: Broke records Thats the 5 right there. 5 nil whitewash. And exit the poms .. shellshocked I wont gloat, this Aust team is good but not great. Unlike the sides of Steve Waugh and then Ponting,when anywhere or anyone they played, it would be like a 15yr schoolboy climbing into the ring to fight Mike Tyson. It wasnt how long they would last ,it was how bad the defeat would be. Our next real test is Sth Africa, our batting is still brittle, and it remains to be seen how the bowlers can perform when under the pump. Wasn't Haddin hard done by? If ever there was a need to share the POTS, this would have been it. Still MItch deserved it, not since the days of Lillie and Thomo have I seen pommie batsman wondering what was coming next. Well done to Boof and the boys. Now off to catchup with a few poms I know. Winners are grinners. So now that I have this warm fuzzy feeling inside me, knowing when a good team plays as well as it can, and has the right personal behind the scenes anything is possible. If nobody minds I'm going to enjoy the next few weeks, then hope my footy team can also turn it around.

MJ is winding back the clock. Not since Thomo have I seen batsman with a look of being frightened. I'll give credit to Bell he is the only one that has looked to being up for a fight. The big Q do to we bat or enforce the follow-on? I would bat again. make a quick fire 200 Their bowlers will look tame compared to what MJ has done, the batsmen will still be shell shocked and it will be playing on their minds while in the field. Perhaps Lyon can get amonst it with the wicket breaking up. Plenty of time left. If we destroy their top order on a 4th day wicket. mentally they will be shot to bits, if not already. Bell must bat at 3. At least they might be a chance to make a decent total. It weakens their middle order,but they need to do something.

Aust is really in the box seat to take a firm grip of retrieving the Ashes. Good to see the review system working as it should, the umpiring has been a decent std,no howlers. Luck is finally going our way. I am not sure if this is some sort of a trivial record, but Aust has reached scores of 50;s by boundaries or over the fence throughout this innings. The longer we keep them in the field and wearing down their bowlers the more chance of grabbing this series by the throat. The poms 2 or 3 down before stumps.

Confucius say man with big bill not necessarily duck.

It looks like some of the info coming out of Wongs is all Wong. A phone tap will sort this out. At further risk of upsetting our Indonesian friends, Wong doesnt sound Indonesian, but I could be wong. We may have another diplomatic uproar ,so sowwy wong number.

Be thankful D.Swan didnt front up, the drink bill would have gone through the roof.

The MFC reality bus in now in good hands. We have AHG for parts and a good service. While its off the road Hertz come to the fore. Sweet talk Hankook back, and we can burn rubber.

I had a conversation 8? yrs ago, someone was bragging how good we were, I agreed. Australia "A" had a team that would beat most our countries. The likes of Hodge, D.Hussey etc etc. couldnt crack the main test side. We had approx 2 teams filled with players of the same age, that meant they would all retire around the same time. I pointed out they need to rotate the Aust A team with some young blood. Not kept playing the same players, regardless if Aust A is performing well. Its far easlier for a young batsmen / bowler to come in and perform in a winning team than one that comes in .. perform now or your out. A good winning team can carry a up and comer and give him time to adjust. What happened, those 28-34 yr olds in Aust A either lost form, or didnt get a new contract. Hayden Gilchrist Warne all retired etc etc , Hodge gave up. suddendly the next tier of young players were found wanting. Our main test team lost the backbone of the team. We found ourselves on struggle street, because we failed to blood or unearth young players to fill a void. Warne, Gilchrist cannot not be replaced, but the need turn over young players was crucial for our future. It didnt happen,now young batsman come in find themselves under the pump. Until the top order fire, we are going to be under the pump to win games. The bowlers when fit! have done their jobs. Its time out luck changed, the last few 1st tests in the ashes series, we were well placed to win, only to be thrawted by rain delays or just sheer bad luck. In Brisbane we are well placed again, lets hope it goes our way, and then the Poms are under the pump.

Not good. Our flaky top order. I was predicting a minor fightback, then the slump between tea and stumps. See my post above I amended it between. Tea to stumps

I'll carry on Tony.

any score predictions @ lunch I'll go 2 for 85 close but no cigar Score preciction @ Tea = 4 for 158 Score prediction @ Stumps 8 for 280

Ok, who's the wiseguy? I gotta relo who cant login. It could mean a split in relations if the ban cant be removed. Why ban nana ? Aferall she is harmless,its not if she just fritters her time away. She hasnt been able to post on the forum for months, she is going bananas.I havent seen someone do their narna since John Bourke lost it down at the Lake Oval. Atm she is sedated on the banana lounge.I wanted to-a-peel to anyone that could remove it, or warrant any justification to ban nana. Perhaps some smoothies on here can sort it out. Before she starts to think its become a banana republic or something... After feeling cut up she may do something silly over something trifle . thx

Hate to put holes in a great story...but cassette tape? Someone should inform that floating Island,the mainland has gone digital. Surveillance cameras were tapered with by your offsider no doubt,as you would knocking us off the headlines. Man seen tapering with and stealing from art gallery.But with no video evidence of the forementioned heist,you may rest easy on the good ship lollipop. May I also suggest if you are Sydney bound, check the "Rocks" DB is between a rock and a hard place atm.

Even more energy from monkeys eating the bananas. Monkey on a spit anyone?

Someone will need to pay for dropping us in the Ooh-poo-pa-do.

I was referring to the one threathened with the sack, If he was any good, he would have forecasted it coming. And been packed any ready to move on. One day I am going to phone a psyhic, when they answer "hello, who am I talking with, and what do you require to know"? I'll reply ....listen if you are any good, you should know who it is!!

Perhaps we have stumbled on what our weather forecasters use for predicting our weather. miscalculated informative gibberish,seldom correct. Might not be mayan, more like mayhem some days. Not to be entirely trusted

Then was seen to be heading to Adelaide, employment looked brighter there.

After relentless banging on my 6inch thick bunker door. I thought its either rumble from the fallout or someone wanting something. I peaked out through the pothole. The sun is out,the birds are chirping. The dvd player got stuck while playing the '87 prem final. I thought it cant get any worse now. I was given an ultimatum, stay in there, and miss out on my chrissy presents,that happen to be new MFC footy goodies Do I choose the risk of death?, you betcha, settled on the footy goodies. 2 pallets of popcorn ,one opened, to go on ebay shortly.

I'll pass HT,not sure I can commit to giving it 100% Thanks for the offer.

Surely he cant be serious?? Warnie to make a test comeback? Just heard he wont rule it out. Looks fit enough. If he did, has he still got it? Watch this space I guess.

And just like the forementioned parrot, this thread wouldnt zroom if you put 400,000 volts through it. 20,000 d/landers are now coming out of therapy

I heard that on the news today. A true sportsman, and a Pom to boot. Too bad some of his fellow pom sportsman dont share his intregity. We might have not sufferred a white-wash in the ODI, if those pommy cricketers had waited up and let us catch up. On the punctures... it brings in a new meaning of tack-dicks during the Tour de France
