I watched the Bridge and think it was the best Nordic import yet - I simply can't imagine they've come close to replacing Sofia Helin (and I have problems with the apparent jurisdictional issues). Season 2 of the Bridge is due upon us - I just feel I can do without a remake so soon. The Americans remade it as well at the USA/UMS border I think.

Have now seen the first season of the Newsroom though, and am hooked. As always quite happy to wait for the DVD release for season 2, but it is very good - and a return to form after Studio 60.

****some of my post may be in accurate.
I don't want to get in to an argument about this, but you don't "have" to find it illegally - it's available on Sky for a start, and if you don't want to, or can't, subscribe to their service you can wait for them to arrive on DVD. Alternatively you could just not watch it. If you choose to watch it illegally then that's up to you, and I make no judgement, but it's because you've chosen to, and not because you've been forced.

As most of the live cricket is through the night the main hours of normal tv viewing will just be the highlights and they scatter they across the network so no need to 'rebrand' really.

Finally looking forward to my weekends of night feeds for the baby as they are tough going currently.

Cheers, what a shame. Sucks it will be on during the night as well, because of work will be unable to watch much of it live and will have to record highlights.

You are of course entitled to your own views however unpopular they maybe.... Unfortunately, I think ( and I probably speak for the majority on here ) that you are in the minority of 1% of people who share your views.

If, however you can actually substantiate some of your claims then perhaps YOU MAY have some credibility..... Doubtful me thinks.

If you have proof of the bit highlighted in bold then please provide it. If you cannot, then you are talking a load of utter bollocks and BS. If you don't like this thread, then leave and let those of us who like reading this thread to enjoy it.

Right so apparently he calls Retentions 15 times a week, which you would no because? Do you work in Retentions or do you own Sky and several newpapers and the capability to tap phones?

Seen as the most likely situation here is that you work in Retentions, I'm sure you know way more than everyone else in the whole of Virgin Media about what's going on.

You said on DS that an email came out about "bringing your football boots" to the Manchester office before BT Sports launch, until then a member of staff from the Manchester office debunked that. You have also said you have seen channels testing on the "multiplex Uploaders", so which part of VM do you work for? Or do you not?
