[muglo] Re: DVD Player

It's one of a BBC series called Monarch of the Glen; another disc of a 
different year (within the series) worked fine!!  I get them from the 
London Library so one would expect them to be all right!  I shall try 
to get another set to try!!

I just wondered if it was something in the preferences and was 
surprised that not even a dusk icon came up on the screen - even a 
blank disk gives an icon!!
