Question What are you watching instead of Sky One ?

Just thought i would ask, what are people watching now they don't have Sky One ?

When you would normally be watching shows such as Stargate Atlantis, 24, Lost and other first run shows on Sky One. What are you doing instead ?

Re: What are you watching instead of Sky One ?

I tend to look more towards the National Geographic, History and Discovery channels to find an alternative. For some reason though, even though i'm a bit of a sci-fi buff, i don't look at the sci-fi channel.

If you read it that way, i didn't mean it that way. I just wondered what some peoples alternative to some programs on Sky One might be. I know i don't miss the channel that much, but i am looking to buy Stargate Atlantis season 3 on DVD as soon as i can find somewhere to buy it from.

Re: What are you watching instead of Sky One ?

Ummm .... I'm watching Sky One. It feels dirty. But it's soooo good.

I wish I was standing side by side with my former VM comrades, but these days I live off-net and a dustbin lid on the chimney was my only choice. So this is all passing me by - until Sky starts upping its subs to pay for lost revenue.

Re: What are you watching instead of Sky One ?

I haven't really been watching much TV since sky one vanished. Instead I have been out seeing friends and girl friends - so thanks Virgin - I now have a life
