Sadly not...The best way to stick 2 fingers up to Sky is to get a Dish that receives German TV - as theirs is free to air - receive the pictures from them, and turn the sound down, and still get the Radio 5 commentary! - Theres a 2 second delay between the sound and the picture but that's better than waiting for the BBC highlights or paying Murdoch!

Unfortunately, that's not going to work this far north.

At least the MPs are following a rational line of argument. The BBC bosses are supposed to serve the interest of the licence fee payer, so they should have deferred to Channel 4.

It'll be interesting to hear their excuses on that one. Which bit of "public service broadcasting" do they not understand?

I'm from Inverness, so no chance for RTL at all, besides 2 sec lag between picture and sound... I don't think so...
Best way is to spend my Sundays @ Pub with Sky TV :P

At least money that i'll spend on beer will go to local folk and not to corporation somewere in US ;]
