    Thanks for the cap Evan, and welcome to Australian Media. :)

    Gosh, some people are seriously bloody idiots. The guy looks like some sort of spastic you'd find on a special ed bus. :rolleyes:

    No probs.

    I've got the first 2 crosses on my Toppy. I can cut it to .rec and maybe convert it to DVD format if you like. Don't really have the capability to convert it to .wmv or.avi.

    The recording cut out just before the 3rd cross (sport wasn't the reason I recorded the news).

    I can certainly feel for the reporter as I was bashed in an unprovoked attack on a Gold Coast bus early on Saturday morning. I wouldn't wish my broken nose on anyone.

    He just looks like a dickhead. Hope he is severely punished for it, maybe some jail time.
