I got Season 3 of Scrubs on DVD the other day. I’ve been watching it every day before I go to bed. I’m on the second disk (of four) at the moment, and I’ve been noticing random corruption. On my ‘proper’ DVD player (i.e. one of the ones plugged into the TV… yes, I have two) it would corrupt and lock up. For a moment I though it was the DVD player, seeing as how it’s about four or more years old now, and it gets used every day. I’d be a bit miffed if it was, as it’s a damn good player (Pioneer DV-444 for those who care).
Anyway, I decided to try the disk in the PC as well, just to check. Of course, I had no idea where specifically it had done it, so I had to scoot through a few episodes to find a place I vaguely recalled seeing it. Luckily I found it, and so it seems the disk is faulty.
I thought I’d try sending it directly back to Buena Vista (the distributors) and getting them to replace it. The UK site has a email link, which I dutifuly sent my little complaint to. I immediately received a bounced reply – no reason for it, it just came back. It looks like I’m going to have to send it back to play.com, which means sending the whole lot back. I don’t want to do that until I’ve watched them all now, so it’ll have to wait a week or two.
On another note, I’ve been trying to find a way to send an eMac I’m selling to somebody. All the main delivery companies, such as Citylink, UPS, Parcelforce, Fedex, et al, seem quite happy to take your business if you are a business customer with an account, but if you want to send a one-off package (as I do) then forget it. From what I can see, only Citylink seem to have a fairly open-ended process which has a ‘this is a one-off’ tickbox. Citylink’s new website is almost useless, and gives next to no information, even though they are the cheapest. Oh well!
