New Hosting and Video

I'm pleased to announced that with the kind donations of a number of DarkUFO readers (please keep them coming ;)) I've finally purchased some increased hosting space so that we no longer have to worry about sites like YouTube and Dailymotion removing our videos ;) and should mean that we can provide you with the highest quality of vidoes for trailers and sneak peeks etc as well as being able to get them to you as fast as possible.

After a lot of research I found a hosting site called Site 5. They seem to offer the most amount of disk space 750 GB along with 7.5 Terra bytes of bandwidth for just $5 a month! So far after a week of testing etc I can say that they look like an exceptional hosting company and their support teams have been very responsive and helpful. Anyone looking for host for your should definitely check them out.

As a final way of testing I thought I would ask you to all to play this Orchid Video from Comic-con last year and let me know, via the poll, how you get on.

Please leave any comments below especially if the player did not work for you at all.

If the player did not work, please make sure that you have the latest Adobe Flash Player.

And the winner is .....

First of all thanks again to everyone who submitted entries, this was an extremely difficult competition to judge but we finally have our winner.

Congratulations to Matthew Kingham who will be recieving a $30 Amazon Voucher for his entry that will be used on all SpoilerTV Video's from now on. Matthew's entry beat out the 2nd placed entry by just 1%! after 3000+ votes.

After the success of this competition, I might well look at a doing another competition later on for all you budding graphic artists.

Ok, I've had back the 20+ Top 5 from the SpoilerTV team and we've narrowed it down to these 7 finalists. Please use the poll to select your favorite design.

I was seriously overwhelmed by the quality and the amount of submissions.

Jorge on the strike

Q :Luckily for us your the only person that we can at least really get some info about the show because of the strike. By all accounts would say it would be safe to say that Lost S4 will officially only be 8 episodes now? I mean I'm sure the second the strike is over you guys will go back to filming but I doubt ABC would show the remaining 8 after May. With the time given now would you say it would be possible to complete the remaining 8?

Jorge answer : I believe we are still within the time frame that would allow us to finish the season without disrupting the flow of the season. But obviously that window is closing fast.
