Follow-Up to BBC Red Button Changes on Freeview 6:12pm on 25 Oct 2009 I wish I was never wrong, too.
BBC Red Button Changes on Freeview 4:58pm on 25 Oct 2009 302 (along with 302) is the sole reason why I first bought a Freeview box a few years ago: during the snooker Grandprix, I knew there would be a brilliant semi-final that evening, so I went down to Tesco and bought a cheap STB.

But what now? Snooker championships have two tables for most rounds -- having two interactive channels is essential. And what about the rest of sport -- this means that coverage of Wimbledon, the Olympics etc. is essentially being cut by 50%.

All for HD, which no-one can tell from SD anyway (look at blu-ray sales)?
BBC HD Eurovision Sound Problems 08:02am on 06 Jun 2008 Where's that "as soon as I can" update then?
bbc.co.uk Service Licence: Initial Feedback & Early Round-Up 08:41am on 02 Jun 2008 Wow, 48% over budget, over £110 m spent *excluding * iPlayer, and this is all there is to show for it? Awesome mismanagement, awesome. In the highest traditions of British industry.
Providing context 08:38am on 02 Jun 2008 Love the way you try to make such simple things sound like rocket science.

Yes you put a graph in. Yes a couple of sentences pointing out the decline. That's called sensible, honest, factual reporting. Something the BBC (nor anyone else) has managed for years.
Hostile response 08:36am on 02 Jun 2008 A *couple of stops* on a trip to Blackburn?? What were you driving, an XJR? My large five-seater Volvo can do 550 miles on one tank.

Try driving an efficient car efficiently and you might find that the oil price rises aren't as bad as you've been squawking.
Olinda - a new radio 10:57pm on 08 May 2008 My license fee got spent on that while journalists are being sacked??
Winning website 10:54pm on 08 May 2008 Glad that you've darkened the text (why didn't you do it sooner though?)

Rest of the site still looks rubbish though. Don't forget that the Sun is the UK's biggest-selling paper...
Who gets the last laugh? 10:14am on 03 May 2008 BTW if anyone thinks Boris will be good for London, wait until you're queuing three rows deep for tiny Routemaster buses stuck behind dozens of huge 4x4s while the train and underground services fall apart...
Who gets the last laugh? 10:02am on 03 May 2008 I feel physically sick.
