Sky Sports don't seem to be showing the World Cup games, unless they are purely on Sky Sports HD (which I don't have).  By preference I would watch the games on Sky if Andy Gray and Martin Tyler were commentating as they are the best commentary team in my opinion.  But as I can only choose between BBC and ITV then I would definitely choose BBC every time!  BBC has the best pre and post match commentary from Gary Lineker and co.

YES\n\nThe concept of being able to watch TV on your computer has been around for quite some time now.  In fact, there are already quite a few TV cards available in the market today.  Some of the more well known brands include Hauppauge as well as ATI.  ATI’s TV tuners can be found separately in the ATI TV Wonder series or integrated in video cards in ATI’s All-In-Wonder series.\n\nUnfortunately, the idea has not been as appealing to consumers due to several reasons.   First of all, if you were to compare the picture quality on the same standard TV signal, you would immediately notice that picture quality looks better on a regular TV as opposed to a computer screen.  This is because the TV signal is not quite appropriate with the resolution on a computer monitor.  In addition, there isn’t much visibility of these kinds of products in a retail store because you rarely see a computer demonstrating TV capabilities on a computer. Companies have taken a slightly different route with the introduction of LCD screens with built-in TV tuners.  This is great in bringing awareness of being able to watch TV on your computer, but it still has the same poor picture quality.\n\nHDTV technology is starting to become standard in the latest types of digital televisions costing upwards of thousands of dollars.  Now ATI is bringing the same experience of HDTV to the computer user with their HDTV Wonder package which retails for $200.

Not too bad, have found that in the long run, BT is the safest bet though. Not the cheapest, but certainly the best service and the most reliable support...shop around and play them all up against each other, there is very little in it. Look out for additional charges for broadband usage over and above your agreed limit. My account with BT is a set fee of £x.00 a month, some of them will give you a base rate and then charge in addition to that base rate...

I've noticed Tescos doing cheap ones.\nFor the quality, as long as the webcams are a good make over £30, you won't really notice differences in quality. The more expensive webcams come with more features like face tracking (mine does), panning/tilting, etc.

He parades his left wing credentials all the time. However, the BBC would probably get rid of him if he didn't. It's a bit rich considering that he sold a publishing business recently for a few million pounds.

Virgin either have, or are soon, buying NTL who have bought ITV. This means that NTL and Virgin will be one and the same. I don't know if that would affect your decision but I know it would mine as my experiences with NTL have been dire!! I'm afraid I don't know anything about the package you have been offered tho and must admit it sounds good......maybe try it and see how it goes??

Reading books and magazines and listening to the radio is a very good idea. To dismiss TV is wrong because of course people speak English on TV. It's often not standard BBC English but it contains slang and colloquialisms that you need to know in order to communicate with people. I'm an EFL teacher and I know of a school in Clapham called TBG Learning. Not sure if that's close to you. I'm surprised you can't find anything in south London.

Try sky three fo Oprah.\n\nSome channels are locked because they belong to TOP UP TV and you have to pay about £7 a month to connect to them and you have to have a special box.\n\nhope that helps

It could be because BBC news is British English and Yahoo is American English. You may be more acquainted with American English. We do export more media than do the British.

Only the BBC games.\n\nIt's only the BBC and ITV who own World Cup rights in the UK, and ITV will not be in HD on Sky for some time. The BBC will be running a year-long "test" of HD which will include all of the live World Cup games they're showing, plus Wimbledon and programmes like Bleak House and Planet Earth. This will be available on Sky HD.\n\nThe Sky channels in HD will be:\nSky One\nSky Movies 9 & 10\nSky Sports\nArtsworld\nDiscovery\nNational Geographic\nSky Box Office

Most of them are blocked to specific audiences. The BBC is limited to U.K viewers forexample.

Pay TV is basically any subscription-based TV service such as Sky TV (satellite) or ntl (cable). Sky, as well as running the satellite TV system, also owns a number of channels, Sky 1, Sky 2, Sky Movies, Sky Sports, the vast majority of which are only available via subscription.\n\nIt is also true that in the UK we have to pay a licence fee, all of which goes to the BBC, which is free apart from that.\n\nOriginally, Lost was aired in the UK on Channel 4, which is a free channel and very popular - you don't need Sky or cable, just a TV. Channel 4 bought the rights for the first two seasons, but they were outbid by Sky for the rights to the third and fourth seasons. Sky paid around $40m for both seasons. Channel 4 weren't prepared to match this, though they did pay around $80m for seasons 3 & 4 of Desperate Housewives, which is slightly more popular in the UK.\n\nBecause you need either Sky or cable to watch Lost now (Sky 1, the channel, is on both), a lot of people who watched the show on Channel 4 are really annoyed, because many of them don't have Sky or cable.
