I've never been keen on Liev Schreiber who plays Ray Donovan. Interestingly enough however I do like his voice over work. He does most of the HBO sports documentaries including the 24/7 boxing series.

I simply can't stand Jon Voight or Elliott Gould. Never enjoyed watching them at all.

i use amazon prime and as others have stated i paid a special price of £49,theres quite a few good programs on there including the walking dead series 1 and 2,i also order lots from amazon so a great deal for me,im too thinking about reducing size of tv package (on xl )i think the subscriptions now are getting beyond a joke,week after week you flick through channels thinking seen that seen that,another thing can anybody on this forum explain to me why gold is a subscription channel?,all the programs on it are old bbc programs and im quite sure ive paid for these once before with a television licence ,and to had insult to injury they put adverts in during the program which is just takes the you know what.

Update from a Virgin Media source:

Sky Sports is increasing by £2 from 1st September, Movies and HD price not changing.

Those people with the season ticket offer or Big Kahuna and Big Daddy bundles are not affected by this increase.

Also Sky Sports has confirmed that Sky Sports 4 and Sky Sports 4 HD will become known as Sky Sports Ryder Cup and Sky Sports Ryder Cup HD on Virgin Channels 505 and 515 for two weeks from September 18th 2014.

Hi, staffs lad. Personally, I find more than enough to watch. You mention The Walking Dead, but that's already been on Fox, so I wonder if you are making the best use of your TIVO for recordings.

It makes sense to trawl through a TV magazine each week (I don't use the EPG for this purpose as it takes too long), and pick out the programmes that you are interested in. They do build up very quickly if you record everything of interest to you, but the middle of summertime isn't the best time to do this as there is a lot of junk on at this time of year.

You have to do your recordings every week, but you will be surprised how quickly they build up. Look at all the channels you have available to you, not just the main terrestrials.

I am still watching material that I recorded last autumn, and this will easily sustain me through the sterile summer months. Otherwise, I think you are paying for a facility that you are not using to its best advantage.

Yes, MB and I did the same when I had the V+. However, now I have my TIVO with its huge capacity for recordings, I am able to record much more and as a result I am having the best viewing experience I have ever had.

I 2nd that OB.

I dont really scroll through TV mags, but there is a website that I use to find out what's upcoming throughout the year. I find it useful when looking for a new series to watch or when one is due to return. It might not be for everyone, but I think it's worth a look. I have posted the link.
