I hope this will be of some help - I had to turn my computer's clock to Latvian time to get a picture, as on GMT I was receiving sound only!

Esmu vilies parraidijumos kurus tik loti biju gaidijis. Nevienu porogramu nevareju noskatities tani pasa diena: vai nu ekrans ir melns, jeb bilde raustas, skana gan biezak strada. Nesaprotu kapec nakosaja diena, kad programa ir uz video lentas, ir ari grutibas. Vakardienas "Veltijums tautas dziesmai" sodien 11.julija radijas tikai apm. 2 minutes (un tas ir uz lentas).
