I really miss all the summer festivals in the UK - both attending and watching the great coverage on tv. It's a part of summer nights.
I look forward to the days when we have a truly global media.

At 3rd Sep 2010, CHRIS BENSON wrote:Hi there - I see that on 301 (Freeview) tonight, they are now showing the live Scotland football match instead of Scrum V at 7pm. Fine, not a problem - but please please please can you show delayed coverage of Scrum V on Freeview - I'm getting sick of asking to be frank, but this would be something which a) would be easy to do and b) would please a lot of Freeview viewers. Why can't Scrum V be shown at 9:30 after the football - or delayed every Friday if there's something else which takes priority? Answer - there's no reason why not; Moto GP and Hockey have been recently shown on Freeview delayed... and I'd enjoy just as much even if it wasn't live!
So please - start tonight, do us proud, and show Scrum V delayed! Even at 4am would do; at least us with PVR's could record it! It's 7 hours till Scrum V starts - do something ´óÏó´«Ã½ Red Button team!
Annoyed,
