All the more reason to vote no to independence

It's SBS I believe but the people of Scotland would be very naive and ill-informed to vote Yes.

You couldn't be more wrong in that statement, but then this isn't the place to be discussing politics, surely?

Good list, personally I'd like to also see Sky Sports 3 and 4 in HD, hardly ever watch them but when I'm forced to the picture quality is terrible.

I was given that date away back earlier this year too, for a launch of Sky Atlantic, I was surprised to be given it so far in advance.

I did PM a couple of people about it at the time.

[Bananaman_007]

It has been a very good year for Virgin i have to say it looks set to flourish under its new ownership. LG have already done some great deals for their customers getting us BT Sport in XL was a major victory.

Can't wait for the broadband speed upgrades, VM are already advertising the speed increases when i log into my account.

Saturday 26th July 2014? That's what was suggested to me.
