The trouble is IAmErroSennin, you will find people generally moan about the addition of tv channels that do show dumbed down, overhyped, mainstream British/American tv shows. Every timer a foreign channel launches, people will often ask why we don't get some guff like Tru TV instead.

Trying to engage people in other cultures is a bit of a losing battle, and it's a shame VM can't just add the channels for people like your parents. It does not hurt anyone to have the channels on the network, but still people moan when they are launched.

Don't have your parents spend a fortune on a tv or freeview box, see if anyone you know feels confident enough to try and negotiate a new, cheaper, deal with Sky for your parents. Speak to the relevant department, tell them you are thinking of leaving and you will most likely get a better deal.

Good luck, I hope your parents get a good deal. Even if they can not, at least they are with a company willing work harder to reach out to many different cultures.
