And neither do I.

What we are complaining about is the way programmes are placed on Sky channels because Sky has far more money and therefore bidding power than any of the other platforms.
Two examples. House and Lost.Both were being shown on other platforms and channels. Between one series and the next Sky outbid for them and they disappeared behind the Sky platform.Very hard on those who were watching them on Channel 5 and Channel 4 and had no access to Sky.

"24" was another one.
For me it's these two points...
1. Because they were effectively forced to allow other platforms access to Sky1 at a reasonable rate, they now place a lot of new stuff that should (or at least would) have been on Sky1 onto Sky Atlantic which, by definition, is only supposed to show HBO programming.
2. They buy up but then
do not use the FTA rights for many of their shows so that no other channel gets to have them.
