I thought it was the same for everyone with it saying 2009 on the ad?

What happens if everyone has probs with digital......will we all have to switch back to analogue?!

There is no going back babe ....its the main thing that has me worried.... And yep when the signal is good and strong you get loads of new channels and perfect picture but its when you don't it becomes simply unwatchable unlike analog which was still very much a watchable picture....... I think people are being seriously fooled and it will be later down the line when its too late that people will be complaining

Then we can all look at you and say you were right

.......by then it'll be too late though!

When I've had freeview on and go back to the normal channels sometimes the sound doesn't come on......so I've got to adjust it on the remote

The other problem I get sometimes is the sound being out of sync, it's OK if you're watching something cause I just switch to another channel and back and it's fixed, but if I've taped something then the whole thing is unwatchable cause it's too annoying. Even if I pretend it's dubbed - LOL!

I wonder is your signal all coming in on the same lead there Honey or have you the sound coming in on another that there was a delay like that??? Just wondering??

Back to the reviews

Hellboy
The Nazis, aided by the mystical monk Rasputin, build a portal device off the coast of Scotland to summon creatures from another dimension to destroy Earth. The US send soldiers and Professor Bruttenholm, who's an expert in the paranormal, to try and stop the Nazis.

When the portal is opened by Rasputin, the Professor throws a grenade......it explodes, throwing Rasputin through the portal and a mysterious baby creature out of the portal. The soldiers want to kill it but the Professor adopts it.........the baby becomes Hellboy who grows up in his "father's" establishment where creatures with paranormal powers are treated as normal and who help humans fight against evil forces.

It's a good film with lots of action, great acting and spectacular special effects. Ron Perlman is perfect as Hellboy, though why Hellboy when he's a man?

He has a great line in sarcastic comments......when he's fighting a creature called a Sammael a phone rings....he picks it up and says "It's for you" before smashing the creature with it

I loved the scene too when Hellboy's on a rooftop getting advice from a kid about his lovelife!

Selma Blair plays Liz Sherman who Hellboy's in love with.......she's the original Firestarter

The blue effects when she's firing up her powers are stunning and are some of the best sfx in the film. The love triangle between her, Hellboy and the young FBI agent, Myers, are funny and poignant too. Does she go for the "normal" man or Hellboy who knows what it's like to be considered a freak?

I thought the silent assassin was very cool with his whirling blades and strange mask.......but did anyone else think of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels cause of his name....Karl Ruprecht Kroesen?!

Good movie!
