My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!)
India - England tour rights... even more messed up than Wembley Stadium!

Well, I havent the patience (or brain power) to go into deep detail, but with less than a week til day one of the first Test, the rights still havent been sorted out in the UK as of now.

Basically, the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) sold worldwide rights to Nimbus, for £300 million or so, and now Nimbus (in much the same style as ITV Digital) have found themselves unable to recoup that vastly overpriced amount, and thus have been beggin/bargining with sky, Zee TV, Sony, Setanta etc to sell the rights for a compariablly stupid price!
