From my 'planned recordings' next week:

Discovery Science
National Geographic
Fox
PBS America
Sky Greats
Sky Pixar (for the grandkids!)
TLC (for my wife!!)
Lifetime (likewise)
5 Star
Sky Living
Spike
Sky 1
Sky 2
Sky Select
Sky Arts
TCM
Eden
Sky Action
Drama
Sky ScFi

Given I'm with Virgin, I cannot receive Sky Atlantic, but I can receive it through Now TV, and I have a number of programmes currently being viewed and in my watch list.

I also have loads in my Netflix and Amazon watch lists.

Simple answer: not enough to justify the money I spend on them!

Presumably, you only have the basic pack with Virgin then, Mike?

Probably, like me; the lowest pack that allows a V6, Mix TV (effectively, the old M+)

Fox, walking dead for me.

BBC, Holby for the missus.

That's about it, if we've missed anything we watch it on catchup.

More serious answer, based on last week's viewing:

Sky Sports 1
BT Sports 1 and 2
Sky Sports News
Sky Arts
TCM
Fox
Sky Cinema channels

All in HD

We actually watch more BBC and 4 programmes than anything else, but in terms of actual hours the duration of movies and sports mean we watch more on pay than free.
Plus, we normally have a box set or two on the go from Netflix, Amazon or NowTV (Sky Atlantic)

Fox hd, MTV hd and 4hd. The Beeb these days I find it's just easier to use iplayer (via series link) so don't actually record.

Nailed it.


Only slight pain now is that Now TV seems to have changed it's rules around when the Walking Dead is made available to be watched on demand. It used to be pretty much anytime during Monday but it's now only available after the live broadcast has finished...booooo. But as I'm only paying roughly £10 a month this year for all Now TV Movies, Entertainment and Kids I'm not going to complain.

I don't think I record any pay TV channels anymore, everything in My Shows could be recorded off Freeview. Anything else is streamed via various sources, including Netflix & Amazon.

It does make me wonder why I have a pay TV package, tho I do love the V6!

I have also noticed that I have made fewer recordings this year, and most from the terrestrials.

Practically half of my viewing is by streaming these days, an indication that the broadcast linear channels are declining in importance.
