Growing up in Dublin with just one RTE channel until cable arrived (some neighbours had big Band I VHF aerials on tall stayed masts for BBC Wales and HTV), when there was freaky hot weather we would sometimes receive Scottish Television or Border Television via Tropospheric Ducting or Sporadic E propogation. It nearly ruined the 1972 Summer Olympics from Munich (but something more serious ruined that anyway).
I watched the Apollo 11 moon landing in 405 lines of glorious monochrome. Yes, we had black AND white in 1969. Luxury!

Now all I need are the new cards for the boxes and be all set,
as another point if anyone knows, (and off topic sorry) how long can I switch off at the plug my other old NTL pace box off before I have to phone up and get the channels added again? as I seem to be calling a lot lol, just to save having to call can switch it on a bit.

It's just like Doctor Who. The Tog Meister regenerated into a younger Irishman. I'm afraid the old one is gone forever. 
Last year we were worried about what Graham Norton's presentation would be like and so, for the benefit of my TOG wife, I tried having the Ken Bruce Radio 2 commentary with the BBC 1 TV picture but the time lag between sound on analogue radio and picture on digital TV was too much. So we put Graham back on and found that he was very good. I thought he was good this year too. He was also honoured with a unique in-booth interview by one of the NRK presenters.
Personally I think Terry had lost it in recent years. Especially after the Copenhagen incident!
No Bailey's to be seen in the booth this year, although Graham scooted off pretty sharpish, before the event was even over, so as not to miss the bus to the after-show party!

An insider told me that Virgin Media are looking to launch some Sky Sports HD Channels in July.
But that was before last weeks rumoured in the press - see more info on rumoured @ http://virginmedianews.blogspot.com/.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
I was told by the guy at retention that Sky Sports HD will be on Virgin Media TV sooner than you think when I asked last week. I asked him will it be in time for the new football season. All sounds good to me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
...it would make sense for all parties to reach agreement and have it in time for the world cup. There is no technical reason why it can't happen.
Possibly a deal involving CH5 might be included as well as Five's current owners want to sell it.
