Agree entirely,it was rather poor. Couldn`t understand why the score was at the top left and the station id at the bottom right too. You would of at least followed the host tv stations lead and put the station id at the top the same as the score,wouldn`t you?

And yes, I did get out of bed on the wrong side this morning.

Why can`t the station id etc be displayed on the front of the box instead of on the screen?

That did make me laugh! :

But seriously, is it that big a problem? Why can't you just ignore it and watch the action?

I was having fun, they do annoy me but not to that extent. Just wanted everybody to lighten up - don't worry, be happy.

Bit of a strange e-mail for VM a short time ago

Is this ALL Sky Sports customers or just those who receive Sky Sports through Sky tv?

[denphone]

Those who receive Sky Sports through Sky TV one would imagine TGS.
