knowing how to say Edinburgh may have lead me to mispronounce Pittsburgh  hmm

Does it help you to know that many people in the vicinity of Edinburgh pronounce it 'Embra'? (Although a lot of those people think Glasgow is pronounced 'Glesca'.)

Then riddle me this, Mr Neutral: how come the text on these pages is still white?

Star Trek is the thing with Ewoks, right?

You're thinking of Buck Rogers.  Star Trek is the JJ Abrams movie based on a 50's tv show.

No, JJ Abrams made The Man from UNCLE: III. Star Trek has Dr Smif, and Robbie the Sonic Screwdriver.

"I have no strong feelings one way or the other."

However, might I suggest that the Search input box on episode listing pages have greater contrast between the text and the background? For example, by having white text on black instead of grey, and perhaps by also making the border around the box a smidgen wider. Just for my poor human eyes, you understand. No biggie.

While poking about for it, I did discover that, while this failed guess produced a highly comical error page (albeit with no nav back to anywhere), this attempt to read the audio directory produces a disappointingly manky one.

Yeah, when it comes to Star Trek, you won't catch me laxing about. Lollygagging, maybe.

Which, come to think of it, better not be a euphemism.

Trey now has me wondering of the potential for a Lost/Glee/Doctor Who three-way.

Yeah, there is a lot of vertical black space at the top of the page.

But it's not as bad as this.

I'm seeing 'Facebook Store' on a new line under the DiF logo, rather than all in one.  Is there a fixed-width box somewhere on the page that should be wider/absent?

While I understand FixedR6's sentiment, I hadn't upgraded before now because my existing kit was good enough, and there was no compelling content unavailable to it.

However, waiting for consumer 4K is a bit like waiting for a 32-core processor before you buy a new computer: why do you think the improvement treadmill will plateau for long enough there to make it worth the money, when what you can buy now isn't?

Now that we've decoupled TV set resolutions from broadcast TV standards, I don't think there will ever again be an obvious good time to upgrade. I'm doing it because of equipment failure, and because my general purchasing philosophy is "buy the best you can afford, and drive it into the ground." So I expect to do the same with our next set, and don't expect it to be obviously outclassed by 3D, 4K or 5-sense-o-rama.

(Well, maybe that last one...)
