Anyone here get Fox Reality channel?

[jenepherre]

I have a huge favor to ask if anyone does get that channel. I need someone to record the first episode of Long Way Down for me tonight. It airs at 9pm Eastern and repeats at 12 midnight Eastern tonight.

I'm going to try and get my Dish Network upgraded to the next package so I'll have the channel - hopefully in time for the next episode to air next Saturday - but there's no way they'll do it in time for me to record today's episode.

I'll take whatever format recording I can get - DVD, downloadable .avi or almost any other video file type, even a VHS tape.

The second cameraman on the show is a friend of mine, and I was down in LA night before last for a special screening of a so-called director's cut of the whole show that they screened in theaters across the US. I went to the one in Century City since Jimmy - my cameraman friend - was going to that one. Turned out Ewan McGregor (who stars in Long Way Down) was there too, along with Ron Howard (who is directing the film Ewan is currently working on with Tom Hanks in LA) and a bunch of other celebs I can't remember at the moment. I saw Ewan and Ron, but didn't talk to either of them - they were out of there pretty quick. Had a great time with Jimmy though. He's such an awesome person.

In case anyone's curious:

Ignore the lame-ass flash animation of the two bikes driving along the road. It doesn't look like that in the series *at all.* ::rolls eyes::

Can anyone help me out? Please please please? I'll pay for shipping and whatever. ::looks pathetic and hopeful::

Jen (who is still feeling great and obviously still getting out and living life and whoa it's exhilarating!)

P.S. - I'll post pics of me and Jimmy together and my review of the screening and report on my adventures a little later. But I had SO much fun! I almost don't care that Shane has now defriended me on Facebook. Jimmy is a better cinematographer than Shane anyway, and much better looking too. ;-) Okay, maybe I'm partly saying that because Jimmy is a real friend and Shane couldn't care less about me, but Jimmy really is awesome. SO awesome. And he'll probably laugh at me when he reads this. LOL

I'll tape it for you! I saw your LA post and I meant to respond to it by saying that I really wish i could've been your host for that evening. i have family here from chicago unfortunately so they took up all the room in my apartment. :| But, I'll tape the show for you! Glad that you had such a great time. :)

OMG yes please!!!! Don't worry about my other message. I stayed in a hotel, but it worked out just fine. And obviously your family comes first.

I've just set up my computer to be able to record TV but I've never actually done it. I'll give it a shot though just in case your other offer falls through.

That's what I'll be doing when I get the channel added. I've done it before with other stuff and it worked really well. I would *love* it if you could record it too, Quinn. Thanks so much!!

Actually, I have the entire series on my computer. Would you just like me to upload the episode for you?

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Which version of it do you have? They're going to be airing a 10 episode version that's only been shown on the BBC so far and is only available in PAL format on DVD right now. I have the 6 episode DVD that fan club members got, but I really want the 10 episode version, and we don't know when it'll be out in NTSC format.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Ah, I got ya! Okay, I'll just be able to tape it on VHS and send it out to you ASAP! Wanna PM your address to me?

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Will do! You're the best!!

The last time I added channels with Dish they were on a half hour later. ;-)

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Really? Good to know. :-) Of course I took a nap and it's now after 8pm, so I don't know if that'll still work. Especially since I have to get the account info from Dad and he's not home right now. ::sigh:: But at least I know it won't be difficult to do on Monday. Can you do it online or did you call?

Yay, you're back! Although, boo about shane. Whatever, Shane.

I *thought* the name sounded familiar--it's because of Ewan. I'm glad you had a good time!!

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Yes! Ewan is how I got into Long Way Round - the first series. Actually, I think lennongirl is to blame. She posted a bunch of screen caps from Long Way Round way back when and I was hooked. Jimmy has some fun appearances in both series - I was just rewatching part of the first series earlier today. (Note my icon showing Jimmy from the first series. Mongolian wrestling costumes FTW! Complete with black 2(X)ist underwear underneath, I found out Thursday night. LOL)

Boo about Shane is right. That's fine. If he doesn't need me, I don't need him. LOL Okay, yeah, I still like him, but I like Jimmy a lot better. ;-D
