I've found a nasty little problem! No recording seems to cross the 6am
boundary. This stopped the recording of the Australia v Croatia match at
about 55 minutes! Basically the programme was in there twice, one
starting at 4:30am and the second (exact same title etc) starting at
6am. I'm gutted, I was really looking forward to watching all the red
cards!!! So just as long as no upcoming England games start at 5am I'll
be alright! ;)

The box said for Windows 2000 or better but it wouldn't work on my Amiga.
