I'd miss Sky 1 a little if they oulled it, but given that about only 20% of their daily offering are not repeats, I have to ask if I would miss it that much.

On the above point, and not trying to make any points, I thought it may be useful to quantify the amount of new programming.
I went through this week's Telegraph TV guide, 24 Feb - 2 Mar 2007 (which shows if satellite programmes are new), and here are the new programmes for this week on Sky One -
Saturday - nothing new
Sunday - Dream Team 8pm, 24 9pm, Lost 10pm
Monday - Project Catwalk 9pm
Tuesday - Stargate SG-1 8pm, Battlestar Galactica 9pm
Wednesday - Stargate Atlantis 8pm, Dresden Files 9pm
Thursday - Bones 9pm, Rescue Me 10pm
Friday - Crash Test Dummies 8pm
11 hours of new programmes in that week, of which 5 hours were Science Fiction (which I like, but not everyone does).
I think if people are unhappy, they should switch to Sky, and that should solve their problem for now; it's all the emotion, vitriol and often downright nastiness (on all sides) that amazes me - it's not life or death, it's just some TV programmes.
