Amber Room Special on Discovery HD this weekend

[Brucemcdou]

Hi - for those who have High Definition service through cable or Direct TV, the Discovery HD channel has a one hour special tonight (April 21st) on the Amber Room in Catherine's Palace in St. Petersurg. It's a fascinating history of the room and tells you about the craftspeople who helped recreate the room you see today.

 

I'm sure it will be shown several times so you might set your Tivo or search function to capture it. It's helping me prepare for our visit next summer on Jewel OTS!

Thanks Bruce!

Missed the program.:mad: Maybe it will be on again. Think I'll search with Google as I don't think we have Hi Def Cable, but not sure. Will ask my husband. Hope it's on again. Maybe someone will post if they know for sure.

we missed it too :(

Hi - for those who might want to watch it or record it, here's the future showings according to the Discovery HD web site. I don't know, but I assume the times shown are in the local time zone? I saw the first episode and I'll try to watch the second one as well.

 

It looks as if it's only on the Discovery HD channel, and not on the "regular" Discovery channel. Sorry!
