Sky launch in Falkirk

[mark800]

Anyone live near Falkirk that may be able to find out more?

On the phone, a very helpful Sky rep told me that the Sky HD launch would take place very soon at the cafe in Falkirk associated with the first TV transmission from John Logie Baird (the Temperance Cafe?).

I don't know if this is rubbish, but someone out there may be able to confirm if this exists......

There is a charitable society for the Temperance Cafe. This seems to be located withing the council municipal buildings.

If anyone can tell you whats going on here then I'm sure they can. Let us know what you find out.

Interesting. I notice that previous news given on Sky HD was at Bar Italia, "the place where John Logie Baird cracked TV for the first time". So maybe the Sky guy meant there. I give up - I think I'll just wait and see.
