Hey! At least I got them to stop using that ugly overlay that looked like it was created on an Amiga for programming alerts and use the Bottom Line ticker instead. ;)

Yup! Here's the email I sent them:

Nothing major, but the info ticker you used just now on the hockey and the other night when the baseball game had technical difficulties looks absolutely horrible. Isn't this something for which you can use the BottomLine ticker, or at least use the same one that ESPN UK use which at least looks professional? The one you're using right now looks like it was made on a Commodore Amiga sometime in the 1980s, not to mention the old ESPN America DOG hanging off the side of the screen.

Shortly afterwards they started using the Bottom Line ticker for programming alerts. :D

It's a shame really, as they used to be really good at answering emails, such as when I asked them if they could use the Fox feed for the World Series:

To answer your question, we are contractually obligated to show the MLB International feed; the Fox feed serves as a back up for technical difficulties, when and if they arise.

VM haven't said that though, all they have said is they are negotiating for the channel.

No kidding! The HD channel launched a year ago tomorrow.

Now almost 18 months.

Even smallworld cable now have it in their XL equivalent package.

It can not cost that much.
