I'm tired of the proliferation of +1 channels, eg ITV1+1. Ch4 +1.
What we need are -1 (minus 1) channels. Especially on Channel 4, Racing UK and At the Races. This way, I can see the winners, back them, and never need to work again.

Wasn't there a betting scam back in the 1960s, using the same principle, secretly delaying the audio feed of races to betting shops ? -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply.
