Sure do ,my sport rugby - pro 12 league is shown on BBC2 wales & S4C( NO RED BUTTON unlike SKY!!!!)
Wonder ,not that Virgin offer it if BBC Alba have games as sometimes my team are playing in Scotland BUT for reasons I fail to understand  they have an other game on. I mean why would anyone want to watch a Welsh Derby not having Cardiff as one of the teams

That why I am here for - for everyone to moan to. 
But saying that I do not know why Virgin cant launch BBC Two Scotland, BBC Two Wales, BBC Two N. Ireland, S4C and BBC Alba UK wide for like they do with BBC One.

For a balanced Middle Eastern view you'd need to include Israeli channels too.
(Can just imagine people on both sides now saying that ?News is pro-oneside so don't need that channel.)
