["Morgy 40" <morgy40@hotmail.com>]

By accident I ended up with a 52 inch screen in my office and it is permanently tuned in to CNBC and Sky  Sport, its a tough life this trading business  .

It cost $200.00 to get an xtra digital decoder so I could do this, I have sent SKY a "sizzling" email.

I suggest others whom it effects do the same.

Regards
