Camelot, not on catchup
 
I should have set up camelot to record but I forgot. So I`ve just gone to catchup on demand and its there with a "c" on it but theres no sign of it anywhere when I select it except for setting up a series link, which I have done but i want to watch episode 1 first.
Any idea why its not there.

Because it was a bit rubbish? ;)

On a slightly more serious note, do you have parental controls set up and might they have prevented the recording? It was pretty much wall-to-wall nudity and there was at least one gratuitous appearance of the 'c' word.

No I didnt set it up to record, I`ve just gone to catch up on demand and its got a "c" by saturdays episode and when I select it, theres nothing there to watch.

Well if you had set the Tivo to record Camelot you would have only got the first half. The EPG Troll struck again and cancelled the second hour.

The programme is on 4OD via the internet but not via virgin media

The first half was good!

It appears to have recorded fully on my V+ box, well it is showing as recorded 2hrs 02 mins anyway.

Wow, how much padding do you use? It's 1hr 35mins and on 4od catchup now.

I've got the much slandered TiVo, which despite the numerous glitches is far, far better than the four V+'s I struggled with.

That's not padding - C4 ran an insane number of ad breaks during Camelot. It was like watching Sky One, a break every 10 minutes at times.

4OD is the way to go if I bother to watch any more of this - minimal advertising.

Chris you want to try watching tv in the US :D

Wasn't Saturday night's showing two episodes back to back?

Tivo seems to have picked this up OK from a Series Link on C4+1.

Re: Camelot, not on catchup
 
Thanks for all the replies but what I mean is that it doesnt appear on my 4od, its missing. I`ve checked the parental controls and its set for not to hide any channels.

Re: Camelot, not on catchup
 
I thought I had asked my TiVo to record this, but now know I didn't.

I went to 4OD last night ant it wasn't available for me either. Is it just Tivo people who can't see this on demand?

Chris 14-06-2011 14:11

Re: Camelot, not on catchup
 
It is available on 4OD via the interwebs.

Same here, missed the chance to record on TiVo so watched it last night on TiVo from the 4OD Catchup listings. It was at the top of the list for Saturday if any one is having trouble finding it ;)

It is, just Channel 5 usually murders it by it being on Channel 5. Camelot is just poor, made by the poor man's HBO.

Chris 14-06-2011 20:16

Re: Camelot, not on catchup
 
It really isn't. There's just a helluva lot more of it, so it's inevitable some really good stuff is going to get made.

But when you spend time in the USA and have to watch real American tv as it's broadcast, rather than just the shows that get purchased for showing on British telly, you find that most of the time there is just channel after channel of cross.

They have some great shows , however TV in the US is just totally unwatchable with ads and on my many trips to the US I would say the PQ is awful in comparison to ours.

It is definitely in the On Demand listings for Saturday if you have still not seen the show.

Its not on mine. I wonder what else is missing, its only because I went to watch it that I noticed it wasnt there.

Have you tried the the 4OD on On Demand pages.

mentalis 15-06-2011 06:49

Re: Camelot, not on catchup
 
I caught Camelot last night; now wondering why it took so long to appear.

Not the worst programme I have ever watched... and it's only a ten part series. I'll try and watch in HD next time to see if that makes it better.
