I quite like this, "Murnaghan" show, although Dermot has always been my favorite news broadcaster, however I wish the studio he uses was a bit bigger, when you have a studio the size of Sky I like to see the newsreaders move around. Is this the only show Dermot presents on Sky News now?

Sky News came back at 13:57 and we heard Matt Smith say "oh for god sake" and "where are we going?" before coming on air and going to Manchester with breaking news on the student protesters


LOL Nick Powell was just reading the sport and the camera decided to go for a pan away from him


Buy a bloody £10 capture card, please. I think it should be a condition of signing up to TV Forum that you are able to create and upload clips.

Oh, for goodness sake !

Tell you what, seeing as they're only a Tenner, why don't you buy Micheal a card, and send it to him ?

I don't know who Michael is but I will buy Richard a cheapo capture device if he wants to give me his address (send me a PM, Richard). In return, I ask that he keeps his recordings of the two incidents mentioned above so that he can upload them when it arrives.

You did read that David's offer is conditional on you having the clips you mentioned available?

Always read the small print - or in this case, the whole paragraph.

Instead of buying a capture card to join TV Forum, I would suggest looking at other and better forums for TV. Other places let you post your opinion without getting shot down.

This place has gone to the dogs.

And before you ask why I keep coming back on? Because I get a kick from seeing low lifes act this way. Not everyone mind, mainly Gavin Scott and the likes.

I know I will get banned now, but its not as if this is a free country or we have a right to free speech is it?

How is Gavin a low life? He's quite frequently the life and soul of this party. And as for you, you are one of the people who have taken TVF down to a low. Your constant whining that the stuff on TV isn't how you like it, or trying to act all high and mighty by trying and failing to pick apart other peoples posts is simply that of a cretin. If you don't like it here, but still come back for some attention, I suggest you get off your trounced up high horse and s*d off.


As for my actual post now my rant is out of the way, I must agree with the positive responses to Sky's coverage. It is indeed rather good, although at the start they were showing State TV images and looping them continuously, which wasn't all that great, they've now got down into the thick of it.
