Could I point out to posters the site's Terms & Conditions - link

Specifically Section 3. Forum Use, para 6, where it states

It wasn't my intention to come across with that attitude. I didn't know Sky1 is not available to all VM customers. In my defence, the news was posted on a Virgin Media forum, so the loss of this to Freeview customers never crossed my mind.

Actually, with the M+ pack being the lowest one now available, Sky1 is indeed, actually available all. (With the exception of those still on the legacy M pack, of course :))

Now to get this clear for me if a mod posts in bold then it's a moderation comment and if not it's their personal comment?

Ahh yes. I remember that. What a nice, neat little box it was. Such a pity they stopped supplying it :(

For those who have no idea what we're on about it was a Freeview box that was about the size of an old VHS video which could be hooked onto the back of your TV!

Okay, that's actually more than the rest of E4's Top Ten, which does blunt my point slightly, I suppose :o::p:

Oh absolutely. But they're still a near-enough monopoly to worry about :)

Them figures are correct however I don't believe they take into account how many watched the shows via On Demand or via online services like Sky Player. Live viewing figures don't tell the true story these days.

For me, it's a 'sort of OK' watch.

I find the best bit is the politically incorrect, vengefull dialogue from the Sue Sylvester character and it suffers when she doesn't get much time in an episode. Though their cover versions of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album on this weeks episode were excellent.

Also, shows the benefit of 5.1 audio,
