| BSkyB appeals Competition ruling
The TV recording site TVCatchup.com has had its service suspended after complaints from the BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Channel Five. TVCatchup launched in trial last year, allowing users to record offline TV shows, watch them online and share copies with other members. The UK-focused site immediately attracted the concern of broadcasters, which have invested millions of pounds in their own web TV catch-up services. A note posted on the site over the weekend said the web hosting company terminated the TV service on February 15, and that management assumed this was as a result of requests from broadcasters.

YouTube wine guru: A subtle hint of 'Big League Chew'
He's been called the first wine guru of the YouTube era. Yet Gary Vaynerchuk's bigger distinction may be this: He's a wine geek you'd actually enjoy having over for dinner. Mr. Vaynerchuk, 32, hosts a daily video blog called Wine Library TV (which he has just rechristened the Thunder Show). To call it educational programming might be a stretch at times.

It is my God given right afterall to express my opinion and I do not have to eliminate the use of God or religion for fear of offending someone. If they are offended, perhaps they should seek the help of the ACLU or talk to some of the idiots from Planet Hollyweird. Deborah McKown
