Can anyone help
Trying to watch the clips on the Arena website (as I'm not going to get to see the real thing - no plans for terrestrial showing according to Mr K). However I just get a black pop up box. I have real player and can watch Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú news video clips no problem - can anyone suggest what the problem is?
Thanks

I've just had a look and it's exactly the same for me. Not that I'd be able to hear anything since my confuser stopped making noises a few weeks back, however that's another (very uninteresting) story.
Maybe there's a problem with it somewhere at their (the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's) end?

Mabel,I agree with Leggsy that the problem isn't at your end as I had no problem viewing the clips a few days ago but I can only get the black box now.

I've contacted Arena at the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú via their website to let them know that it's SNAFU/FUBAR. Hopefully they'll sort it out in due course.

Might it be because they are jealously guarding details of the 'explosive' New Year's Eve episode?
(See thread in DissTA about Tim Bentinck's article in Scottish newspaper, posted by Ellis Bell - sorry can't remember name of thread).

Angora, I didn't see anything in the clips that gave any clue re New Years Eve so I am still inclined towards a technical fault being the problem here.

Oh right, thanks Polly!
As you were...

Mr. K: please could you lobby for this programme to be shown on terrestrial television; as although I have a digibox I cannot get Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú4. Not to repeat it on terrestrial TV is ridiculous, as well as being a gross insult to the many fans who are not high tech. PLEASE. Thnak you, I am considering it done.

I have come into my office at work this afternoon so I can view the video clips with broadband... and they don't work. Just spent ages reinstalling Realplayer and that hasn't made any difference. As I can view other video clips, it must be a fault on the site.
And I haven't got Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú4 either. I can't do that in my area without getting a new aerial, and from what I have read about it, doing that will reduce the quality of the 4 terrestrial channels that I can get in sparkling clarity now.

Agree Polly. I watched the clips a few days ago with no problems but they won't work for me today. Didn't look at the Grace and Jennifer bits but the more contemporary stuff had no helpful clues [nor red herrings either afaik!]

Is the reason you cant get bbc4 because of reception issues? Or is it that you need to re-configure your digibox,which you have to do from time to time when they add new channels?

I think that those posters complaining that this is not on terrestrial telly show a certain lack of dedication.
I managed to persuade Mrs S that it was time that we bought a digital TV just so I could watch the Arena prog (I think she gave in so that she could watch Torchwood three days earlier)

I know you had your tongue in cheek there, Mr S, but there are still pockets dotted round the UK that can't get digital.
Fortunately here in the shadow (almost) of the Crystal Palace transmittor we can, and when I saw that The Prisoner was being repeated on R4 two years ago I had no trouble at all convincing Mr D to buy a Freeview box.

Yes, Dragonfly, the repeats particularly of old dramas seem to be about the best things on digital.

It would be nice to be able to receive all five analogue terrestrial channels (missing the Royal Institution lectures) let alone digital (plus have to look carefully to find out what time of the early morning 3 weeks later S4C are showing something good from C4)

A very Happy New Year to you all!
We had some technical problems with our Archers clips for a few days towards the end of December (when nobody was in the office). They should all be working now if you'd like to give them another try. Let me know if you're still having problems.
