Picture the scene, wife sat on the sofa watching some soap from a month ago she has recorded on Sky+. Youngest child on my iPod Touch playing games so wife can watch the soap and not that same Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs DVD – AGAIN! Older children in bedroom and kitchen doing their homework – hopefully. And me sat at the computer in the living room watching [...]
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of SeeSaw. All opinions are 100% mine. I would not take a sponsorship opportunity unless I genuinely believe in the product and have written about it before without sponsorship.

SeeSaw is the name of the online video service that was born out of the ashes of the fallen Project Kangaroo – purchased from the consortium of broadcast partners by the telecommunications infrastructure company Arqiva. Arqiva was born out of a history in broadcast infrastructure running transmission faciltities as Crown Castle. Now they’ve moved into online transmission with the launch of SeeSaw, a service that will allow you to watch [...]
I’m writing this post listening to a Spotify Playlist I created specifically for blogging (it inspires me to actually write instead of thinking about writing) and praising myself for having avoided the X-Factor and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here this year. And I don’t mean just avoid watching it – I mean avoid it almost completely (with the exception of the odd photo of the stupid haired [...]
When ‘Project Kangaroo‘ was first announced I got all excited, I love watching TV, I love watching old TV shows but I like to watch them on my terms – and buying DVDs can get overly expensive for something you might watch once in a year. Part of the whole ‘watching TV on my terms’ thing was resolved in a legally grey way in the first instance with sites like [...]
Just under a year ago (three days under a year ago in fact) I wrote a blog post with the title ‘My Media Tips for 2008‘. As we’re now approaching the end of 2008 I thought it might be worth looking back. So lets work our way through the original post, pointing out what I got wrong, what I got right and what I wouldn’t right now even on the [...]
Every evening my wife and I sit together in the living room to watch television – but we rarely ever watch the same show at the same time.

But this [...]
There’s more to the headline above than an excess of capital letters that would have my English teacher steaming at the ears and some of the pedantic readers of bbc.co.uk/jersey knawing their teeth. There is a reason I filled it with caps – you see it’s full of new television channel names – well one is an old television channel name – but it’s part of the same family. The [...]
