For me I don't care abut sky one

If your that upset you never know branson might give you 24 boxset free or reduced at his store. The fact is SKY only transmits these shows there not going to be able to stop the makers releasing DVD's.

Also when there contract up SKY might just lose out to show them. Just shows SKY stupidity might just come back on them and diminishes the loss of these so called top shows.

Well after looking at what HBO & Buena Vista have to offer, I have to say that I'd rather stick with Sky One.

I just getting peed of of people bleeting about one or two shows out of what basically a poor weekly scheduled channel that is SKy one. Then bleeting like its the like the end of the world. Its not and the programmes within 2 months of last airing will usually be available in the shops. SKy will not dominate forever so whats down the future. Those who jumping and moaning now could be the same when virgin media beats SKY to one of there favourites and the channel it is put is not on SKY. It was a lot worse a few years back when many channels did not cross over platforms.

What comes around goes around. I understand feelings are running high I myself like to watch 24. I also like sky sports news. I aint going to throw my service down the tubes and jump ship. Equally think virgin media had all customers interests in there heart by turning down a very unreasonable demands.

I joined sky via OnDigital 7 or so years ago then a dedicated sky box (which had the most unreliable LNB ever)

On sky 1 i used to watch

Buffy, Angel, Voyager, DS9, Enterprise, Stargate SG1, Simpsons (when it was still fairly fresh), Malcolm in the Middle, Futurama and I'm sure many others that i can't think to list.

At the moment on sky my only must see programme is Lost. In fact at this very moment Sky1 has Cold Case (urgh) followed by (old) SG1, sky 2 has Flatliners which has just finished on Sky 1. In addition they have a nasty habit of showing things like Buffy in the middle of the day when I'd rather my kids didn't see it.

However you wrap it up, its not what it used to be. I say bring on Virgin 1, buy all the good stuff from under Skys nose when contracts come up and stuff it to THEM on syndication talks.

Oh did i mention that sky charge you to fix their crappy equipment after the first year?
