This is a question about the extended Premiership highlights shown every Saturday night called 'Match Choice and/or Football First.

I basically want to see the best/longest highlights of my team - Middlesbrough - after every match as MOTD on BBC1 often only shows a few minutes of footage (just the goals).

Although the interactive 'choice' element is unavailable to NTL users, Sky Sports 1 shows highlights all evening and into Sunday morning. Are these highlights just one match looped for 6 hours or do they change the game they show?

My question is this, do all the Premiership match highlights available on interactive get shown on NTL and if so, is there any way to find out what times so as to set the video to record the highlights I want to see?

Also, I would appreciate a quick lowdown on which Sky Sports programmes feature good Premiership (and League) highlights and when these are shown.

I had considered changing to NTL Radio Times but heard bad things about the delivery (late and sometimes not at all) - this is assuming the listings are extended in the NTL edition.

I've only had NTL TV for a few weeks now so please forgive my naivety.
