    Shame they didn't move the porn channels well out of the way to 600 or beyond while they were at it.

    I agree!

    I think they did come up with a plan a couple of years ago, but Sky objected very strongly and spat their dummy out and got their way it would seem for a couple of years:

    Quite why people pay £60 a month, £720 a year, thousands over a few years for Sky/Murdoch still surprises me.
