Get Sopcast mate. Get a connection from yer PC to yer TV.

Hopefully Liverpool will endeavour to get hitched with Sky ASAP..

The manc I used to work with had the same problem, rang his bank every day for a while to make sure they weren't still taking his money.

Best thing about direct debit is you can cancel it through the bank rather than trust the people taking your money to do it. It's probably the quickest way to get their attention and half-decent customer service attitude out of them. I have had a few problems with my ISP, they offer pitiful customer service and tell me as an existing customer I have to pay £25 for a router which I'd get for free if I were a new customer. It took half a dozen e-mails to get the correct dial-up telephone number off them and I'm still not convinced. Of course they all had Indian surnames so no prizes for guessing where their call centre is........................

And the government wonders why we're in a recession when companies simply locate parts of their business where it is cheapest running costs. Add to that EU freedom of job stealing and business takeovers and poor business moves leading to redundancies and it's no wonder we're in sh 1te. Was it BT who recently coc ked up a business move overseas and now are trimming something like 3,000 jobs because they made a loss?
Never buy from PC World, product quality is poor and their 'customer service' is even poorer

And which repeat of a match from weeks ago is it?  :D
Don't panic Mr Mainwaring! My Owzat account is locked by a seeming flaw in the board system. I changed my e-mail address, but that left me needing to be re-activated and therefore powerless to even post or notify a mod.

Well for a start they won't be taking any more. Are they tied in to a contract or can they stop it at any time? I guess wait to see who bids for them or if someone else comes in to buy Setanta. There are strong rumors of ESPN coming in for them.

Shame really as I liked their UFC coverage. Feckers could have at least waited till after UFC 100. Lesnar v Mir 2. :angry:
