I just saw a trailer for a program on The History Channel. The program is Dogfights, and the episode is "Hunt for the Bismarck!" From what they showed there is some really pretty good computer generated graphics of Hood, Bismarck, Swordfish torpedo bombers, etc. Air time is 10:00 pm est. Tuesday Jan 30. Here in mountain time zone it will be on at 8:00. I'll be sure to record it myself.

Thanks Rodger.

I may end up taping it. (Still can’t seem to get the DVR setup right half the time.)

Howdy Rodge,

Good catch pard' ! I have watched just about all of the 'Dogfight' series so far, this one should be a dandy.

I had the same problem. Even when I got it to record the quality was crappy. That's why I switched satellite companies. I got a DVR upgrade in the deal. That thing is marvelous. It takes about 10 seconds to set the thing up to record every single show in a series, no matter what time they come on. The quality is just like watching "live" TV. I wish I had done it years earlier.
