Oh yes we’ve covered him too. I’m in Melbourne (Adelaide originally) youtu.be/LmjV0JilYks?...

It’s like he was vlogging 30 years before it was a thing

David M Green: Talkback Radio & Old Tapes YouTube video by Adelaide Tonight

Good to join @scottjohn.bsky.social and Big Al on 'Adelaide Tonight' last week. Talked about On The Talking, VHS Revue, Mad As Hell and that time I pulled Bob Francis's girlfriend's hair in 1988

Nice write up about @onthetalking.bsky.social by Radio Info. Episode 7 is out this weekend

Yeah could be. I dread the day my DVR eventually dies and I have to find a new one that still has all the right features

I have a strange problem where it won’t copy files larger than 4GB. However, if I copy from the DVR to my old Windows 10 laptop over WiFi I can then copy the file to the Windows 11 laptop over WiFi. It just won’t let me do it directly.

Do you have any issues copying files larger than 4GB from your DVR to Windows 11 machine?
