BTW - I've put it off far too long, I'm finally ordering my dish motor this week! So I expect they'll be a fair bit of swearing and cursing when I come to fit it net weekend

Apparently my mount needs replacing too... I had a feeling this project would grow!
![]() On a different tack, is anyone else interested in the documentaries that crop up from time to time? I've seen excellent ones about composers, artists and training programmes. The Village Opera one looks interesting, although I suspect it'll be more about how the village pulls together to mount the opera than anything else. (As they've chosen Purcell's King Arthur, that'll suit me very well!) There should have been a documentary on Arte a few days ago, "The Beauty of the Voice", about a young singers' programme in Zurich. I've just checked it on my HDD and for some reason it was replaced by another programme (ballet) and will now be shown at a later date. |

Saw an ad for opera on CNBC this evening while watching NBC Nightly News, apparently CNBC Performance returns in September. I guess I was right then about them not showing it over the summer.

Well I guessed they were just taking a break from it for the summer, maybe it gets less viewers than it would in the winter. Good luck with the dish motor installation

It's been put off as I have had to order another mounting bracket... the one I have on the wall at the moment just isn't sturdy enough.

Will you have to wait until next weekend to fit it now, or can you wangle some free time during the week?

I'm only guessing but it might be the Bayreuth Festival, where they basically just play the music of Richard Wagner. |

A few more courtesy of TV Today which arrived this afternoon. (I may have missed some as my eyes start glazing over after a while.)
All times are British times. Already mentioned, "Tales of Hoffman" on 3Sat 30th July 19.15 - 2200 "Mefistofele" by Boito on ZDFkultur Thur 4th Aug 14.10 - 16.40 Documentary "Domingo, My Greatest Roles" on 3Sat Sat 6h Aug 19.15 - 20.00. (I'm pretty sure I saw this only a few months ago.) Documentary, Edita Gruberova - the art of bel canto Arte Mon 8th Aug 21.30 - 22.25 Aida am Rhein 2010 live performance from Basel ZDFkultur Thu 11th Aug 20.30 - 23.05. I found more info about it here. http://opera-cake.blogspot.com/2010/...-at-rhine.html Completely off topic, but I also noticed Kabel Eins have a new series coming up where 2 workers from Germany swap places with 2 workers abroad. On the second show, 2 taxi drivers from Mumbai swap places with 2 taxi drivers from Bad Tölz. Can't wait to see that one! |

Thanx, and just to prove that I do get TV Today, what do you think of that little, very small football fixtures booklet that came with it glued to page 3?
I used to like Goodbye Deutschland too, you know where German people moved abroad to foreign lands I watched "Goodbye Deutschland" for a while too. In fact I'm not really sure why I stopped. The ones where they moved to unusual countries could be really interesting. I did get a bit suspicious when a couple who'd been on it trying to set up a fashion business in the USA suddenly turned up in "Mieten, Kaufen, Wohnen" though. |
