The BBC is billing the Top Gear special - which will also be available in high definition - as the "most ambitious and arduous challenge" yet.

Anyone know how to get a file off an Software Atlanta 3200 HD box? That is what is under my V+ Box and the bloody manual they gave me is sh*te. I have HD feed and I think that the box is capable of taking a HD recording so I could have a go, unless VUK is on the case anyway?

/EDIT Not sure that I have the video skills nor software to do rendering either sooo probably forget that one then!

I can't wait, this is going to be so good. Is this going to be the only event or are there going to be other things throughout the show?

I'll be recording the BBC HD feed to my Sky HD box - so if anyone knows a way I can transfer that to my PC, then I'll be more than happy to help my fellow finalgear peeps images/smilies/smile.gif

Why do people complain about the show? Top Gear is always fun, if you want to complain go do it some where else

There was a small teaser after James May's 20th Century in which Jeremy exclaimed to James "Just think you will be the first man in history to reach the north pole who didn't want to be there".
