Both of which will be recorded via wishlist. Also I have had Peter Cushing pop up in many TV shows (most recently Tales of the Unexpected) and countless radio shows. Gotta love the wishlists. If never miss does that, I will happily eat humble pie

Yes we use the Wish List facility in our household a lot as we like plenty of the older actors and actresses who have since long gone the way of the dodo.

Sky atlantic is an option we have...not a show that we watch 24/7

I am a bit surprised if anyone watches one channel 24/7, maybe that is how it is done on a virgin system?

Really? well said. How eloquent

Colin25 my question was simply a genuine attempt to understand why such a large group of people seem to wish to spend such an inordinate amount of time discussing a product they purport to find inferior to their own service choice. It makes little or no sense to me, for example as an O2 user I don't feel the need to spend all day on a Vodafone forum. However I'm sure you would agree nowhere in my post have I suggested what you or any other user of this forum should or shouldn't do, I have simply sought to understand the logic.

I have no idea when any announcement will be made, but Monday or Tuesday sounds feasible if things have gone to plan. The next scheduled addition of channels (including placeholder slates) will be in the very early hours of Wednesday morning, so it would make sense to announce any new channels just before this.

If any talks have deemed it to be so, BT Sports may not start straight away on VM, but will start in time for the first major game on the 17 August 2013.

I bet if anything is announced it would be Tuesday or Wednesday. Monday always seems to be quiet on virgin media for news. I don't think they like Mondays...

Your honesty and sense of humour makes me smile and is so refreshing to hear

You do understand that I am not using a virgin, or sky tv service to post.

To clarify, it is a vaio..tv is playing IPman 2

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but something new to Virgin Media today at least. A new off air screen, check BBC Three before 7pm. It looks like it's designed for HD though as the text is a bit small for standard definition (which is what it's going out in).

well we know which 3 or 4 posters are to blame for that. I said so a few days ago and got accused of being a sock account when 2 other newbs agreed with me. could be, i dunno, because i'm not the only person who thinks so? IP check me if you want. I had never heard of this place before 2 weeks ago I come here for a heads up on the BT Sport situation. it's a rubbish forum because too many people cracking inside jokes to eachother intead of being on topic. you think something has happened when you see 50 new posts but it's 3 pages of 3 or 4 mates inflicting their terrible banter on us all.

msn messenger would be a good shout. or a little device which you could type into, select a phone number, and message the person with required unfunny inside joke. you could call it a mobile phone, and the typing could be called text messages. shame nobody has ever thought of this before. it would be an idea worth billions!

Might be sooner then you think perhaps

Genuine question, you are happy with your service so enjoy, but surely it's a terrible waste of precious time to be scouring and contributing to discussions about services you can't receive and obviously have no desire to obtain.

completely agree and well said.

You should be able to put your view accross without being rude.

Some of what I post is in the public domain and can be verified (sometimes on the internet too) and some of it cannot.

Either way, as previously explained, everything that I post is offered on a take it or leave it basis.

I have no intention of carrying out any research on behalf of others. If anybody feels the need for affirmation, this is a task that they must do themselves.

If you cannot find the information that you are looking for, you are either looking in the wrong place or it is not in the public domain and cannot be verified. It is then for you to decide what to do with the information provided.

Some people accept that in the real world, not all information can be verified for pretty obvious reasons and is on a "nod and a wink" basis. Some people see everything in black and white and refuse to accept anything that cannot be verified (normally the most their research extends to is a computer keyboard).

Only you can decide the position you wish to take to avail yourself of information in all areas of life.

All that's being asked of you is to provide a source for your information, or, if you cannot, to explain why that is not possible. None of what you have posted about ESPN is backed up by the companies involved as far as I can see - in fact, most of it appears to have been contradicted by official statements and advertising. It may well be that I've got that wrong, if so I'd be grateful if you were to point me in the right direction.

Where's Mr Stokes to continue his countdown to judgement day as he missed his usual daily countdown this morning.
