ITV4 also has the capacity to do this apart from the HD bit.

I may seem like I am nit-picking here, but I fail to see how that is guaranteed. They might have the capacity to do that, but that doesn't make it a guarantee. I don't understand how it is guaranteed start to finish, no interruptions any more then it is on the BBC. If Sky could come in, and make promises to show all the matches of a tournament and not be limited to two even if there are more then two games, then I might see your point. But, do we have such promises or guarantees? Or is there something I have missed...

I am not trying to undermine you, but I think the BBC coverage is pretty top-notch, what with the red button and being able to watch it over the internet. Could it really be that good if it was Sky? We certainly wouldn't get over the internet coverage, like we do at the BBC. Sky would have to guarantee this to take it off of terrestrial television and put it on Sky Sports, that not everybody has.
