Absolute zero on SBS
Wondering if anyone saw & recorded the 2 part series " Absolute Zero" on SBS the last 2 Sunday nights.
Was really brilliant, but I forgot to have a video tape handy...both times.
If anyone has recorded it, can I please have a copy.. I will pay postage/replacement tape/disks etc.

Re: Absolute zero on SBS
If no one has it for you, try JB Hifi, they stock most of the ABC's and SBS's documentries and series on DVD.
We've sourced loads of stuff through them and if they don't have it, they'll track it down for you, even from overseas.
I check their website first, and if I have no luck I ring them as they seem to be able to find stuff instore the website doesn't list as available.

Hi SlartiB
I rang JB, and they said that they will get it in ...but said to call back in a few mths.
Do SBS do direct sales?
I have been looking for a website, no success.

Hi all
A company worth considering is Tape Services South Australia - Google for the address.
They tape free to air programs for use in educational settings.
It has the program you want in either DVD or VHS for $39.95.
Cheers

Thanks Jen
Re: Absolute zero on SBS
this school subscribes to enhance tv... is great resource.. it sends out a list of the programmes that are to be screened for the next week.. gives synopsis, date and time of screening and is arranged into KLAs... I just scan through it and pass on the ones I think we may find useful.. the Library then records them under Licence... IF we miss out for some reason, they also sell copies.

Morning Barbara!
Our very clever library assistant has recorded this show (without even asking! Such a treasure!) but on Clickview. Let me know if you know about Clickview and I 'll tell you how I can get you a copy.
Regards,
Lou.

Re: Absolute zero on SBS
We have MYTH TV. We access it via our schools portal and it shows what programs are coming up a month in advance and will record anything electronically if we want - even programmable to record the entire series automatically. We burn it to DVD for a more permenant copy for our faculty. The channels it covers are ABCHD & 2, SBS HD & 2 Prime HD, NBN HD, SC10 and some nonsence called Mytalk.
I love it because it includes shows like The Bill and Topgear! Not exactly science based but allows me to watch them on my PC during my lunchbreak!

Re: Absolute zero on SBS
I believe Top Gear relates to Physics, acceleration, braking etc so it would be science related and therefore you are well within your rights to watch that at other times than your lunch break. Not sure if there is too much science in the Bill though.
I have been caught watching Brainiac on a school laptop when a non-science class was on in a computer room and when asked what I was doing I said "I was watching a Science related program, so I am allowed to do it and there was nothing that they could do about it"

Re: Absolute zero on SBS
Hi Barb,
I can download the show onto a thumb drive and depending on how much memory it takes, the program to enable viewing it (otherwise you go Clickview on the net and download the program). Now this will not allow you to tape it, but if you are looking at having a copy for a class to view it, it can then be done with a laptop and and a data projector.
Don't know if this any use to you, maybe it is just too much "farnarkaling" involved...
Up to you, just let me know...
Havagudweegend!

Re: Absolute zero on SBS
I didn't copy the first ABSOLUTE ZERO, but I do have part 2 on DVD. However, it is on the same DVD as "Six Billion Dollar Experiment" which goes for 50 minutes, and 5 minutes of a show on Cochlear implants & Soundwaves. If you don't mind the confusion, I can do a copy for you and post it this week. Let me know sue.cox2@education.nsw.gov.au

"Not sure if there is too much science in the Bill though."
I'm sure there'd be some forensics in there somewhere... and problem solving etc.

Re: Absolute zero on SBS
Loopy.. thanks for the offer, but it sounds a bit too techno fro me to cope with. I asked the multimedia people & the IT crowd. Maybe best if I dont take the clickview offer.
Thanks anyway
Sue.. thank you.
