If you think programmes like 'Game of Thrones', 'Mad Men' and 'Boardwalk Empire' are poor quality American tat, I can't think what American programmes are good quality! Would it be 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' or whatever it's called?

Whilst the daytime programmes on Sky Atlantic are not really worth watching (in my opinion), there is a much better selection of worthwhile viewing in the evenings. During the winter schedules, I would be likely to record three or four programmes a week from that channel. Sky One, in contrast, appears to have gone downhill badly. I don't watch anything on there these days ever since 'Fringe' ended. Shame.

I don't think it would at all. Only the outer fringes of the subscribing population are influenced by such matters. Sky thought they could kill Virgin Media off by taking away Sky basics a few years ago. Didn't work.
