As per my post maybe I don't watch TV :p and hence don't get exposed to

" News breaks " " Flash messages " " Adverts "

that you have to endure :D

One last question : For those of us who live on the moon can we get Skynews via freeview or has that never been an option ?

Re: Another Take on Lost Channels
 

That really made me chuckle, nice one. :)

Re: Another Take on Lost Channels
 

You can get it at the moment but they are going to remove it from there as well in a few months so not really worth going out to buy a box.

VM and Sky may work it out, it hurts them both as Sky will lose millions in lost advert viewing, have to wait and see. :juggle:

Re: Another Take on Lost Channels
 

I don't know maybe you should get out once in a while and enjoy life without TV.

I certainly have a much better quality of life since I stopped watching the box.

TV is a complete waste of time - even the news - why wash your brain with information that you did not want in the first place ? Why let OTHER people control and even influence what you BELIEVE is ethically right or wrong ?

Seems silly to be spoon fed something that you don't have NO control over in terms of the content being delivered.

I mean I had no woes or worries simply because I did not know of the sky/VM rift. I'm sure if I had knowledge of it then maybe I would have given it thought/worried ?

Alas the event as happened and we have lost Sky - So what ? there was nothing you could have done about it.. So why worry ? -

At least I have come out of this unscathed simply because I did not have to worry about it :)

I've been meaning to get sky's freesat package and wack it into by network with a DVB-S card paired with a legal decoder.

But its very low down on my list of priorities I can live without sky for a few months no problemo.

Trust me the government would find a way to tax tv, at least this way you get the BBC thrown in for your money

Re: Another Take on Lost Channels
 

Actually......this thread isn't so much about the lost channels but more about the TV licensing costing £12 a month and all Sky wanted was another 50p a month for their channels.
Personally I would be happy to just have a bit of VoD and I'd watch an hour as I chill out before bed. I don't need all the BBC soap and drama crud.
TV's just a bit of escapism for me.

Re: Another Take on Lost Channels
 

Yeh sorry for hijacking the thread but just saw the title - read a little bit - and just wanted confirmation that we had lost Sky only to get replies like

" Where have you been for the last few days " :rolleyes:

Well at least I know now.

Cheers

Re: Another Take on Lost Channels
 

maybe not for long ( though too long for me well unless they sort in 30 days lol as i have jumped ship ) if cancellations is anything to go by as they offered almost their souls to keep me ( eventually got me to keep BB for £10 a month ) so that they could ( in their own words ) put me back on my package if sky was back soon

read into that what you may
