News coverage of English revelations

[I wanted to put up TV3’s as well – it’s good coverage, including interviews with KiwiBank customers – but I just can’t seem to deal with their flaky video stream (anyone else have problems with it?)]

    Here’s the segment on the English meltdown from TV One last night.

    Good grief. Three spurned opportunities to confirm his boss isn’t a dimwit?

    I did like that “he’s a very loyal deputy” line from Key, too. I thought they were past the Blair vs Brown thing, but it appears not. This might get entertaining.

    I can’t find any way of grabbing the new 3News video — it’s real-time streaming and there’s no file behind it to grab. I have complained personally to Mark Jennings that I can’t steal his video any more. It appears that wasn’t the intention, just an unfortunate by-product.

    There are over 600000 kiwibank customers National may have put many of them offside now. I say keep it Bill you’ll lose National the election in no time.

    AYB, Russell – the folks who make this gizmo assured me last week that they’d have a version that would deal with capturing the underlying stream by sometime this week.

    I presume they’re talking the 3.0 beta version, as I have the 2.30 version which doesn’t. I can confirm that most of the stream-capturing tools I use, including the usually ever-reliable WM Recorder, fail when it comes to TV3’s hideous coding.

    Russell Brown: have you tried a product called “HiDownload” for capturing live streams on XP?

    If you are on OSX a combination of Quicktime Pro/Flip4Mac & Downloader Helper works.

    Oh my God, that’s hilarious. “It’s a complicated policy … well, it’s a complicated policy … you see, it’s a complicated policy.”

    Which is basically answering “yes, John doesn’t understand it” and offering excuses. Maybe Bill’s gone a bits nuts – “If I can’t be National Prime Minister, NO ONE CAN, MUAHAHAHAHAHA!”

    I was told today that they’re pushing that video out through an encrypted stream. Most capture software picks up multiple audio and sometimes multiple video streams.
