I guess it is difficult with Virgin Media as you have to rely on old fashioned Padding for overruns. I tend to use other sources for free channels as it tends to be more reliable and has dynamic epg etc. and Now Tv for sky sports as it is a fraction of the price of a monthly subscription.

P.S. Has most of Virgins' web sites been down today, or just my internet? Getting to the homepage is ok but trying to login or access webmail or service status or anything else doesn't work. Spinning circles and errors on Pc Anywhere but that seems to be normal?

Oh, Finally got an error:
