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.

Would be cool to see though.

David, I don't remember seeing that horrible piece in the docu. Maybe it's a piece that Astro.com just came up with.

In any case as you said, it will be better if the keris experts in the forum can see the docu. For sure you'll be the better judge

PS - As the title suggests, the docu. is slanted towards the mystical aspect of the keris. But in the interviews of the keris makers & Malaysian collectors, the non-mystical (i.e., technical) aspects were mentioned as well.

I saw it last nite..... to me it's nothing new.... sort of disappointed as well. The collecters depicted in the program were all "nothern peninsular" school... so nothing academic was expected

The "keris-like" object used in the illustration is a cheap souvenir item, commonly found in souvenir shops.. definitely not the type that we collect.

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
