No point in whinging - be like me forget the TV and spend your time on the internet instead :-) You will still not get any extra modelling time in.

We have a whole 5 channels here and they are all rubbish - I'm just glad we don't have hundreds of the darn things.

Anyway I assume that over there the coverage would be live and therefore in daylight. It is live here but we are 10 hours from GMT so it is late at night when the games are on.

Only got one channel have you? Invest in a good digital service and you'll have lots of options...

Nope, got sky but my son has highjacked that, also got digital freeview with something like 20 channels but most of it is rubbish for the small minded and easily pleased.

Anyway, I'm not just on about TV. The coverage is everywhere on all types of media.
You can't get away from it.

I don'y know if it's because Wimbledon is in Englad that coverage is so intense. We only have one channel covering Wimbledon. Of course we have a bunch of channels covering World Cup.
