On a presentation issue, does anyone else get a juddery screen when sky news zooms into map graphics etc or is it just happening on the Virgin Media platform.

It's not just on Virgin, no. It's been like that for years.

With BBC News 24 effectively closing down, and new management for Sky News incoming, would it be too much to ask for some life to be added to the channel? There is a real window of opportunity for Sky here to really refresh Sky News and cement its place as the UK's premier news channel. I apologise to anyone reading this who works there, but at the moment it's about as visually engaging as watching paint dry. I know the orthodoxy there is 'no glamour, just the news', - but TV is a visual medium. It should at least be more than the wallpaper on a screen that it is now. 

I'm not saying go back to 2005 and have three presenters strutting around an aircraft hangar-turned-newsroom - god, no, that was totally the wrong approach, even if we here all loved it - but please just make it look good.
