The answer to all our prayers - Space: Above And beyond on DVD
We all know how hard it is to get in quality S:AAB time. Reruns are scarce, and Fox never released the series on video or disc. A lucky few managed to procure VCD sets over ebay, but at 100mb an episode the quality was never going to be any good.

But now our deliverence is at hand - Space Above And Beyond is available on DVD. A chap in the UK has aquired a set of promotional cassettes, the stuff the show's makers would send out to reviewers before airing. For the right price, this fellow will commit the entire series to DVDRs, and ship them to you wherever you are in the world (if you're willing to pay the shipping). My set cost 45 squids, which covered 12 discs and UK shipping - no cases, but then I'm a pauper :(

Anywho, if you want this guys email, then PM me. He'll start to record your discs as soon as possible, once he's recieved your money, and the quality of the recording is 90% of TV standard.

This guy truly brings a ray of light in to the world. Don't delay - order your discs now!

Wait until you get them, then let us know what the quality is like. We don't want to be ripped off, you know...

It's a series. Space: Above and beyond. A good one, but as all good things, it got cancelled before its time. Do a google search on it.

DG, keep us posted on this. I'd like to see how your discs turn out once you get them before i make any orders.

All the same, this is good news. :)

I meant this as in "I've just watched the first disc and the quality of the recording is 90% of TV standard", rather than propaganda from the guy selling them. It's not perfect, but it's damn near, and the audio's none too shaby either. He'll even supply cases with artwork if you want to pay the extra money.



Hoo-rah!

UK: Sci-Fi Channel (SkyDigital Channel 130): 5pm every weekday.

The 58th have just had their first engagement with the Chigs so it's right near the beginning.

Watch it.

Dam scifi for pulling out of Scandinavia.

Denmark is really dumb, when it comes to sience Fiction. Our national Television transmitted the first 20 series of TNG and then stopped.. So i was left with the German sounding ones.

There is not even a single channel here that yet has broadcast a single episode of Enterprise

Bab5 also ran on german channels.

would like to buy a sattelite reciever, only that where i live we are forced to have Cable.

Only the germans are broadcasting LEX:the dark zone, and as all german broadcasting services they syncronize the audio track with german actors. Its really dumb, i often recognize the same voice actor in several different series. kind of ruins some of it.

furthermore, sometimes the germans completely screw up the continuity.

But hey, at least it thought me how to speak, and understand german, since i have had german channels since childhood.

but i might find it difficult understanding the sourth german dialects.

Wow... I'd forgotten just how great SAAB is...

Best Show Ever™ :nod:




BTW, one of my discs wouldn't run - so this guy is sending me a replacement via priority mail. He even checked which brand of DVDRs I've got, so my set matches :)

Seriously though SAAB fans, what the hell is the "it" that Aerotech knew the chigs were going to "use" if Roundhammer went ahead??
