I have on BBC News 24, they just said it's "10 hours" to the next strike. Perhaps some are leaving earlier than others, who knows.You have an advantage over me there Ivan. I can only get terrestrial TV and only four channels. Channel 4 gives lousy reception here and I can't even receive Channel 5, still I suppose I'm not missing much considering its tastes!
I get Freeview - with terrestial you may be able to get it too - you just get one of those Pace decoder boxes and put it on your set. I get more news channels, a reasonable documentary channel (UK History). It's good enough.
