For those that are interested, the History channel has ten episodes (hopefully in HD) of Band of Brothers the weekend of the 18th and 19th.
Anyone know if ten episodes comprises the whole series?
I've always wanted to see it... HD would be awesome. Looks like I just bought the TiVo extra hard drive just in time....!

I haven't seen it yet, but the Blu-ray box set is one of the preorders I didn't cancel. My sister said I should definitely watch it.

The series was completely engrossing and involving and made me cry big man baby tears. I was alone at the time so I didn't hold back. It felt good.

Well don't cancel your orders, boys..... TiVo is not showing it as HD. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but probably not. That means the sound will suck, too.

Thanks very much for the notification, Mark.
DirecTV is listing it as HD. Maybe the sound will only suck where you live.
I queued it up using the handy web interface. Very slick.

Maybe the sound will only suck where you live. There are few certain things in this world, so when one does come up, why cast doubt?

Well, it'll do fine if it's Dolby Digital. Mt ears have become square to match both the room and myself personally....

Yep, 10 episodes. There is one piece of the special material you do NOT want to miss. They interview a group of the surviving members (mostly the guys they flash on throughout the series). Pretty compelling stuff.
Pete, based on your post above, you better bring several hankies for the interviews!

Those are actually what made me cry. Of course, the actual episodes primed me for it.

I do hope you do realize it is Remembrance Day or in the US, Veteran's Day. It would seem to me to be a bad day to use for anything else. I didn't realize that, though now that you mention it, I think it came up last year, too. I'm pretty oblivious to any holidays I don't actively celebrate. Anyway, you have a good point, but on the other hand, I wasn't REALLY trying to make it a holiday for anyone else. It's just my joke of a holiday, and the good news is that I don't know any veterans who are too self-important to share. It's not like other people don't share days. There are only so many days in the year, and a certain carpenter's son gets to share his days with a fat man and a bunny rabbit, so if they can get along, I don't see the harm. Maybe I'll befriend a veteran at some point and reconsider, but for now, I'll have fun with what has significance for me, at the risk of being disrespectful.

At first, I was shooting for one of those Appreciation Months, but it didn't pan out.
