Last night...back too my programs again on Sky one... Stargate and Battlestart G..Tonight Stargate Atlantis...plus viewed some of the older stargates and others..On top of that was able too record Life on Mars and view after Battlestar G finished..

I feel I have TV back in my control again..Virgin took that away. I will comment that Virgins Remote is more user friendly than Sky's but that could be down too getting used too skys system.

As far as the on demand..which ever you decide too watch...Channels showing old programs...like UK Gold Bravo etc,etc already show old programs (maybe not what was show during the last week) Yet not that different from..EG- 119 and on demand catch up etc. Because that's all those new Virgin Channels are doing...showing repeats.

Virgin how just invented a new-old channel...Nothing new there...

Sky Engineer told me, they have been told that they will have too take on extra overtime...plus he said he's going too loads of ex Virgin customers and changing them too the basic Sky box..On top of reading what other members have wrote in different threads about Virgin lay offs...Make you think Virgin shot themselves in the foot.

I'm glad I made the dicision too change too sky...Could have gone with there standard box but whats the point in havibng a HD ready TV and not using it

Suns shinning...So out on my Honda Fireblade today
