Another way to look at it is this: How many of those 59 channels would actually carry anything you want to watch. As I said, I have access to over a 100, and watch mainly the terrestrial channels, and watch Sky 1, Living, E/More 4 and Scifi. What I am saying is that it's all very well boasting of how many channels they are going to offer, but how many are likely to be interesting?

I whole-heartedly agree. We now have more choice of what not to watch. Some programmes are interesting, but not, as in the case of Sky 1, 2 & 3 where the same programme is repeated ad-nauseam through the week.
And this past weekend, there was so much I wanted to see, I watch the free DVD with the Mail during the week.
