I've already got the first two episodes burnt onto an audio CD from my Digibox.

I couldn't work out how to tell the digital radio how to go to R4; it was really quite weird tuning in the radio the 'old' way

DVD ? Don't you mean the CD? According to south american rainforest co uk, Tertiary Phase is released on double CD on October 25th.

Double CD? That must be a masterpiece of "overburning"... Or else they cut the titles off...?
I burned the first two onto an audio CD, and would have had about 15 minutes left on a "standard" CD, or 25 minutes on an extended one. Not really enough room for 3 episodes per disc.

3 CD's. They're on the frontpage of the BBC shop at the moment.

"Peet, do you burn them with video?
The most of the BBC CDs are in MP3 format, at least that is what they tell on the site. "

TiT, I captured them as AVIs with video, then converted them to 192kb/s MP3s, which I converted back to audio CD using RealPlayer.

Too technical for me. I recorded them on audio tapes.

That would have been too technical for me. I already had my Digibox wired to record video, so I just did that, then converted it later.

Can you get radio on your digibox, then?

Peet (the Pedantic Punctuation Policeman, Muse of Lateral Programming Ideas, Eggcups-Spurtle-and-Spoonswinner, BBC Cheese Namer & Zaphodista) Posted Sep 30, 2004
Yup. It's a standard Freeview box; 20-odd radio channels, a dozen or so TV ones.

I've got a Freeview box - didn't know it could get radio. Do you play it through the TV?
