  • 2OCEANSVIBE FEATURE ON “TOP BILLING” TV SHOW

    26 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham in Cape Royale Hotel, Inside Seth, Press, Puma, Television, Very Cool, Video

    The cries from the 2oceansvibers out there who missed the 2oceansvibe feature on SA’s number one TV magazine show, Top Billing, were overwhelming. I knew I had to SOMEHOW get it onto the web for you to see!

    Just to run you through the process – I recorded the show on my PVR decoder at The Safe House. So what that does is it stores the show in digital format on the PVR machine – for use at home. There is no facility to transfer this data from the machine to another machine, or computer, or disc or flash drive. Granted, there is a USB port on the decoder – but it doesn’t do anything,

    So my friends at iKraal lent me a VIDEO MACHINE. That’s right – an old school style VHS video player/recorder. Awesome! I would hook up the machine between the PVR and the TV and record the show! There was only one problem – I needed a VHS tape..

    Not the easiest thing in the world, I’m sure you can imagine. I went to Caldis on Long Street where the staff completely ignored me and managed to muster a mumble confirming that they had no VHS tapes. A very different attitude to when I bought the several plasma screens and DVD players and stereos in the past.

    So anyway, should you ever require a VHS tape, I can confirm that Pick n’ Pay at the Waterfront sells them. I got a TDK 180 – quite mean! So I took that home, recorded the show from PVR onto tape and took the tape to iKraal, who have the facilities to transfer that video BACK into digital format! From there I could put it on “le web” – which is what the French call it.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we got to this point!

    So sit back, relax and enjoy the 2oceansvibe feature from SABC 3’s Top Billing show, 15 October, 2009. Wait for the box to load under this sentence and press play!

    *Slow connections are advised to press pause to let it load up before playing.



    I’m fine with that..
