Special offer to my J2Ski Buddies.....HALF PRICE VIRGIN MEDIA.

Tony. No cable blinkers mate. I work for the money not loyalty. I am talking from solid experience of all products and having worked on most of them.
Sky's product is nice but very limited.
You are basing your cable opinion tho on old products. It's a shame it's not in your area, I think you would be pleasantly suprised.
Also if someone doesn't cable up rural areas soon you have a danger of being left behind as more and more domestic products are Internet connected. And for that you need bandwidth.
We have 3 computers, iPad, 3 phones, two tvs, a web server, a ps3, a wii and Nintendo ds that all hook up to the net and many of them are on permenently.
Virgins rock solid 100mb does nicely.

I can live without tv, but not a decent Internet connection.

My gripe is that my village is cabled up but Virgin are not operational in my area!

WIBBLE

I've been vaguely interested in getting more access to sports via the TV but that's about it. Not a big TV watcher and sometimes we sit in the lounge with a glass of single malt and flick though the umpteen channels on freeview and freesat and then give up and put a cd on instead.

Is there any way to get access to sport only without paying for loads of additional pointless reality show crapola?

We are in the sticks though which rules out cable.
