I wonder why we in Scotland were stuck with coverage of the England game on terrestrial TV??? After all we pay the same licence fee in Scotland as they do in the rest of the UK so why did the BBC not outbid Sky for such a crucial game as they did for the England Russia match The Scotland match could have easily been shown on BBC2 at least ... I think the BBC wants to remember its a UK broadcaster and should realise that the whole UK that provides its income

Id be unsure if anyone can outbid the SKY network. What Sky wants Sky gets.

perfect example of that ber219. The series 'Prison Break' started on channel 4 i think. Anyway, 2 extremely successful series later and, no,I don't believe it; Series 3, Sky 1, Sept 24th. :lol::roll:

Ber it appears that BBC must have outbid Sky for the England game hence it was on BBC 1 is what the BBC said and didnt say
