A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Aren't Philips and Magnavox the same comapny? I have "Philips Magnavox" filed somewhere in the mental archives.
Philips Magnavox would be a good detective name on one of the Ruby series or Firesign Theatre, maybe better on FT. I seem to remember Philips Magnavox too. (Just that my Philips has those cool undocumented key sequences that activate normal features that it seems to be missing, like search by time and chapter. Still haven't figured out how to open the tray with just the remote though.)
Kathy A. That co-worker sounds cool. You never know, do you? The Brit couple who keep our local Doctor Who fan club going, you'd never guess to be Whovians, unless you saw them at the club or volunteering at the local PBS station that showed Who for several years after the show ceased production. They look so normal and non scarf-wearing.

On mine, the tray will open if I hold down the Stop button for a couple seconds.

Really? Huh. That never even occurred to me. I just figured it was the world's worst remote. Must try when I get home.

I found it in the manual.

Really good remotes shouldn't require manuals.

I knew about the stop-eject thing (I think Jon mentioned it), but it's still the world's worst remote.
I'm sad that I'm not going to be able to watch and post tonight.
Well, my old Phillips remote actually opened the tray if you held down the 1 key, I think. In any case, it was actually labeled on the remote Open or Eject or something by that key.
When I got my new Phillips (because my old one displayed in pink when I connected the component outputs and it was still under warranty, but no longer made) I tried doing the same thing, but it didn't work. I don't recall what made me think of holding down the stop button, but I was happy it achieved the desired effect.
I'm not either -- I'll be at my sister's show. And tonight's is SO GOOD, too.
