I just looked up the TV guide on Sky Digital... it doesn't show Top Gear for tomorrow at 7!!!!

Is this because we only get BBC NI on Sky Digital here?
If so, does anyone have the frequencies/settings for regular BBC2 so I can set up a new channel on my sky box?

Help!!!

Been there done that!  I can't drive my car up on to a standard car lift without wooden blocks to stretch out the gradient of the ramp and if I drive out of my parents driveway forwards the front splitter tips the ground.  NOT GOOD!!!

I miss me beemer!

Tis all a bit confusing...
My sky box says the same thing as the culture section in the Times - that it's not on tomorrow at 7 - but the BBC website says it is on at 7!

I guess I'll just have to wait... the suspense is killing me!
