Does the Paint Drying channel cover staining a fence. If not then maybe there's a gap in the market for the Ronseal Channel, Ronseal Channel+1 and the Ronseal Channel+5.

I think you all should get back on track to the topic you are really straying far from the path, there some fun but i think you might takign it to far, rather nto see people get warned or the thread closed.

Birdsong HD gets my vote! The lack of any video whatsoever ought to make it easier for VM to get hold of...

Well..... It would be quite unlikely, I think, but you never know. I don't think that there was a whole lot of warning before Sky Basics came back, and this is certainly the first rumour I've heard that claims to have come from inside Sky.

It would be nice, but i'll believe it when i see it.

I wouldn't believe a thing an engineer \ installer says. All the VM ones say HD is coming soon and list channels etc but they are never right

Amazing how some of these engineers are privy to the innermost secrets of the boardroom. Maybe the chairman just bumps into them outside when he goes to light his Woodbine and chats through the smoke haze.

What tools, from 2 engineers i got told this 1 me step dad and the other 1 a manager lol asume what you want thought id share with yous what i heard guess that was a waste of time!
