Well how would you rate a tv provider that decides to change the channel a sporting event is being transmitted on at half time and does not tell any one IE first half on BBC1 second half on BBC2. Professionalism does not fit the BBC.

Considering the amount of money there raise in there tax i would expect a decent level of professionalism from them. And before you say it i know its not a tax but it might has well be as it is forced on anyone who owns a TV even if they do NOT watch the BBC

I would not shed a tear if they where made to have a card so they only get money from those who watch them.

Of course I trust you. Why would you lie to me? :p:;):D

So they changed thing around to be able to cover another sporting function. Still not sure about the "not telling anyone" bit, 'cos that seems a little silly, but if you say so :)

BTW Carl trust me they did do it and that was the final straw for me over there naff sports coverage and they were sent a letter of complaint from me over it and they never even bothered to reply to it .
