Thanks for the heads-up!
It's only “How do they do it?”, "Mythbusters" and Sky+ that's prevented me from cancelling SKY. I'm convinced I'm paying them to watch their fookin' adverts!
Recently it seems to be 10 minutes of program, then 5 minutes of adverts, 10 minutes of program, then 5 minutes of adverts and so on...

If my kids are still awake I'll record it so I can f/f the ads.
