Anyone noticed the thread about it has just reappeared and suddenly disappeared into the ether in the Requests forum?

If the notice has to be there, Channel 4 should at least be put firmly in their place, by amending the notice thus:
"This site has no connection with any broadcaster including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, five, or Sky."
Making it out like they are more important than the BBC or ITV, no thanks.

I don't think the forum's in a position to put Channel 4 'in their place' at the moment.

The order of the stations is of no importance whatsoever, as the sentence is grammatically correct AND COMPLETE, up to and including the word "broadcaster".
The remaining words are totally unnecessary.

Indeed, there is a school of thought in legal circles which would argue that you ought not to use the word "including" for fear of downgrading the perceived importance of those NOT mentioned.
That's why many people tend to use the phrase "including, but not restricted to".

It may be connected with the Channel 4 font issue, and there again it might not.
There are plenty of people out there that cannot differentiate between a broadcaster's official website and other sites such as these.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if over the time that TV Home was online Asa received countless emails that would have been best directed to the broadcasters themselves.
I do know, however, from the experience of running my Greek TV Idents website that however many times you say you are not connected with broadcasters, you'll still get emails from people asking about schedules, programmes and all the anicillary bits.
There's a lot of not very clever people out there...

This is too true - I continually receive e-mails to my website from people thinking I am a radio station or a television channel; in particular a lot of people seem to think I'm Steve Wright! I even put messages in bold lettering at the top of certain pages saying 'Please note that this site is in no way connected with ' etc etc, yet some people still didn't get the message!
