    The poor tracker needs to go and have a long lie-down in a darkened room......

    Anyone know if there's anything good on later tonight?

    No red button any more - you have to tune the channels in manually - bear with me two minutes and I'll c&p instructions.....

    On your Sky remote hit SERVICES button go to OPTIONS - then go to ADD CHANELS - then change frequency to 12.420 - then change polarisation to H - Then press yellow button to find channels.
    Store all BBC Olympic Channels from 1 - 8 - press store to complete.
    Your channels will be available to view under OTHER CHANNELS

    Credit for that goes to a colleague of mine!

    But you're welcome. Good luck switching around and around and around channels until you fall over - sometimes I wish I was back in two-channel land!! :D

    I think the top 5 are:

    CHN 7pts
    IRL 12pts
    DEN 13pts
    NED 14pts
    BEL 16pts

    Fingers crossed she can keep it up
