<RANT MODE>

Can someone PLEASE tell me why in my house I have 4 TV sets.

There is NOTHING I can watch. :-(

BBC1      World Cup
BBC2      Sunday Grandstand
ITV      World Cup SAME BLOODY PICTURE AS BBC1
Channel 4      Cricket
Channel 5      Bike Racing

Sky Digital SWMBO is watching Big Brother
OnDigital - BBC News 24, the only other Free to Air thing I can pickup
and
they are talking about...the World Cup.

Cant watch Tivo because there has been so little to watch I have already viewed everything.
Seriously considering obtaining a second Digibox and a =A312 sub as most of
the programs I watch are on one or more of the Discovery Channels.

When I had Analogue SKY I was paying =A324 for a card that gave movies but<= BR> I
never got the chance to watch them so I dropped back to a =A312
multichannels
card and took out a second =A312 card for my other box. Same money but I got
more choice (apart from the movies obviously)

I am absolutely certain that I cant be the only person in the UK that
doesnt
watch sport.

To make matters worse, we TiVo'd something last Saturday only to find
the
Football programme overran by 15 minutes. Notice the wording
there..."Football PROGRAMME" not the Football. The 15 minutes tha= t ate
into
what I wanted to watch consisted of Gazza running through the streets
asking
people what they thought of the match.

I thought I had TiVo'd Robot Wars the other night.... NO - BLOODY TENNIS :-(
Of course, I didnt find out until AFTER the repeat.

On the radio they said that 20 million people were expected to watch
England
play. There are something like 55-60 million people in this country so
therefore the MINORITY were watching football.

How many people do you know who dont have a means of recording a TV
program
?
So WHY keep repeating the bloody stuff as well. If they cant watch it
live
then record it.

</RANT MODE>

Oh... and just to try and keep it on topic, I have a slight problem
testing
KAT5... most of the picture is coming out green with coloured blobs
moving
about on it although I hope that will disappear in a few weeks.
