Probably the marketing department still think it's a box[ed] set of DVDs.I fail to understand how a linked collection of episodes in a series, available to stream from a server somewhere, constitutes a "box set" anyway.

Radio Times actually did a short article about this term a while back (maybe a year). It's basically just a leftover shorthand for what was, and often still is, a set in a box.Probably the marketing department still think it's a box[ed] set of DVDs.
I have a contact who refers to "filming" with her iPad.People still talk about taping stuff
Everyone did this when it was tape, and now it's file they still do the same. "Wot yer filming mister?" usually from the kids.I have a contact who refers to "filming" with her iPad.
It used to annoy me when people referred to TV programmes (such as HIGNFY) being filmed. They were, and possibly still are, videotaped. (I doubt that, they are probably recorded on a HDD or similar - too lazy to do the research just now ). Filming is, as it says, using film. I've become more relaxed on the subject and accept filming to mean video recording of any sort. I may still use the term taping to mean recording on the Humax. The language has moved on, and grudgingly so have I.I have a contact who refers to "filming" with her iPad.
A command line is not DOS.But let's face it, who uses DOS any more?
I am using it right now! At least I am running get_iplayer through its Windows interface to the DOS screen running the commands to download the ODI World Cup replay from yesterday so I can listen to it tomorrow on my PMP while waiting for my car to be serviced tomorrow.But let's face it, who uses DOS any more?
I do! But then I'm using an older version of Windows.But let's face it, who uses DOS any more?
Does seem odd that the DOS shell uses directories but the Windows it came from uses folders .The concept of "folders" came along with GUI OSes trying to ape real office furniture
No, you're not!I am using it right now!
It's not a DOS shell. It's a Windows command prompt shell.Does seem odd that the DOS shell uses directories
Well it isn't...Somebody will be along shortly to complain the Windows command prompt is not DOS...
Yep, everybody knows it's a "plug", don't they?'Plug socket'
If it looks like DOS, smells like DOS and runs DOS commands....It's not a DOS shell. It's a Windows command prompt shell.
ffmpeg" -i "input.ts" -acodec copy -vn "output.mp2"I use txMuxer for processing .ts radio recordings as it extracts the audio track rather than converting it so is much quicker. Depends if your device can play the native extracted format of course - my phone can't but my Rockbox'd PMP can.
