...I never really bothered with live TV recordings in recent years. These days, if I find something interesting, I download the show form the TV channel’s website (called Mediathek in Germany, a word play on Bibliothek, meaning library). Interestingly though, the picture quality is noticably worse than what I receive via DVB-T.

I do nearly the opposite: I record every TV programme I want to watch, then watch it at my leisure.
That way I can skip through all the adverts, which I loathe [1].
Freesat in the UK allows recording of radio series as well, which Sky
cannot do, so it's easy to capture late-night series and listen to them at
my convenience. I have something like 600 radio programmes on my satellite box.
1. Mind you, UK TV adverts are nowhere near as gross as the screeching horrors I was subjected to in Minneapolis 30 years ago.

I can only imagine.
in the 1970s the national grid was monitored and analysed with a Ferranti Argus 500 machine with 24KB RAM and a 2MB disk. It was common for
American visitors to believe that was just driving the control engineers' displays, and where was the main computer?
