Why do you keep going on and on about missing channels? If your not happy with what you get for the money you pay then go elsewhere and get all the channels you want.
This may be a stupid question but given that you have three Tivo boxes, why do you need all the +1 and +2 channels. Surely the need for these channels is redundent when you have a PVR
oh, and you missed Premier Sports

Sorry, I forgot both those channels, my mistake (along with More4+2)
I would prefer to get HD channels before +1 and +2 channels buy the way
