Discovery Channel -- "Keris: The Myth & The Magic"

Hello all

I just saw last night (20 Aug., 10 pm, Manila time) the subject 60-minute documentary. Don't know much about kerises, thus I found it quite interesting!

For those in Southeast Asia, please find below the sked (note also that Bajau Lauts will be featured soon).

For those in US and Europe, am not quite sure if this series [Enigmatic Malaysia] is shown over there.

In any case, hope y'all

get to watch this docu somehow ...

I don't see it on the Discovery Channel schedule... maybe it's not on for USA folks?

Not seeing it here in the US. Looks like we get "verminator" instead. Sigh.

Well i'm hoping that the quality of the show is a mite better than the "keris" they chose for the illustration of the show on this site.

As an aside, I don't have a DVR but I just found out that recording a cable TV broadcast is the easiest thing to do.

What I did was I bought this $35 image-capture USB. Then I just plugged it to the computer and hooked the other end to the TV cable (below).

Then voila I instantly have one more cable TV in the house by way of a computer. And I can now record any show I want, manually or via the program's timer function [the USB comes with a CD].

Thanks Rick, for pointing to me the way
