INSIDE WOTSAT NOVEMBER 2007, ISSUE 256

ON WITH THE SHOWS
Braving the fierce heat and sweaty crowds of this summer’s giant technology shows, we bring you the latest in TV wizardry. Grant Rennell reports from the International Funkaustellung in Berlin with cutting-edge TVs and gadgets, and Alex Lane is back from Amsterdam’s International Broadcasting Conference, where he’s been seeing the TV platforms of tomorrow.

ALL OUR YESTERDAYS
Billed as a Quantum Leap for the 21st century, Journeyman follows the adventures of Dan Vasser (Rome’s Kevin McKidd), who finds himself travelling between his idyllic modern-day life and events in the recent past. It’s hotly tipped for American TV’s Fall season, and Sky One has it in HD.

SCREWDRIVERS READY
Martin Pipe continues his quest to build the perfect DIY PVR, investigating the hardware you’ll need, from video cards to TV tuners. We’ll also be testing some of the best digital TV tuners on the market.

FANTASTIC FOUR
Looking to catch up on your favourite Channel 4 shows, or even buy a few for posterity? Then 4oD could be the online TV service for you. We test drive an alternative to the iPlayer.
