As the title thread - will you watch days 3 and 4 on Sky or BBC?

I don't have Sky HD so tempted towards BBC where it will be in HD and the bonus of no adverts.

But... that said, I've really enjoyed the coverage for days 1 and 2 on Sky.

(I also feel like I should watch on sky just to justify the fact that I'm paying for it - even if it is on BBC :rolleyes:)

Sky 100%

Can't stand Peter Allis and his cronies the way they waffle about garbage gets on my wotsits

Then there's the fact they have the likes of Lineker fronting it! Anyone remember Michael Vaughan pigs ear interview with Tiger last year! Just a few reasons why at least with Sky you get golfers covering golf!

People say about ad breaks, but the BBC are also subject to those due to the host broadcaster difference is the BBC fill them with Allis, Lineker et al which is worse than a quid regular ad break.

So definitely sky.

So are both the beeb and Sky getting the same source broadcast from over the pond?

Yup!
So it's an evening full of adverts in sly but we do get to see some replays and a few more looks at the scoreboard on the beeb.
(Plus I hate sly tv)

BBC for me.

Sky if I have no choice. Why would you choose to watch a channel that has 6 mins of breaks every 15 mins (Exaggeration I know).

Funny enough I dont mind listening to Monty.

They are indeed all broadcast the live feeds given to them by ANGC

if the wife wants to watch something on sky then I'll watch BBC, but Sky has the better coverage

That's why we got the virgin multi room everyone's a winner

Tough call for me this.

I love Sky's coverage but only have a standard definition package with them.

We do however have a HD TV so if I watch it on the Beeb, I can watch in HD. Add into this the fact that the Beeb has no adverts too........

Tough choice :mmm:

Haha not that much of an exaggeration fella... I find it makes me switch off from it - I grab my phone or laptop on a break then look up 20 minutes later to see I have missed a fair bit
