Hey,

I have 29 monitors in my office and on my desk, 18 displaying MPEG2 content,
sitting in a room with no windows. A 12 hour shift can get somewhat confusing,
for the first six months of shift work I didn't even know what day it was, when
I finally figured that out I realised I didn't know if it was day or night. Now
I think I know where and when I am, only problem is that I now sleep just 5
days a week...

Welcome to the world of DVB...

The amazing skill you do develop is being able to tell a channel is blocking
without even looking at the monitor stack, its a super human skill that
broadcast engineers develop.

Welcome to the world of DVB...

Also a phrase they say in broadcast engineering: "Your not a real engineer until
you've accidently taken network television off air." And I can tell you nearly
everyone I've met so far (including myself) can be called a *real* engineer. :)

By the way, I'm going to change my email address for posting, I'm closing this
very old account down. I think dvb@orbit.me.uk will be used from now on.

 Just a note to say that as I was looking out of the window on the train home
 yesterday evening, I saw lots of trees flash by very quickly, and I did
 actually think for a moment that I could see some MPEG2 artefacts on the
 window "probably caused by low bitrate"..

 Oh dear. Is there any therapy available for this?  :)

 Cheers,
 Gavin.
