Nope, not at all. You just cant make a channel to rival Sky in under a year. I doubt they will even look into doing it, and to be fair it would be cheaper just to get Sky One back.

The only programme I wanted to see on Sky 1 was Deadwood & that's been cancelled after season 3. I'm currently waiting for the DVD release of this as I have seasons 1+2 already.

why do people talk of sky 1 like it was the bbc of sat/cab tv it had a few progs on it. And i never watched it at all and yes of course virgin can create a rival

well they should have done so first

but i don't see why they should

the posters on the forums here the last few days seem to hate the content of sky 1 so if they want to please them it wont be anything like that

if they want me back they need a copy of sky 1 but i fear that would cost them more than just keeping what they had

RealDiamond · 03-03-2007, 22:39

these shows please.
Bones, house, 24, Family guy, Futurama, american dad, cold case, smallville, rains, south park, two and a half men, The dersden files, Stargate SG1s 2 tv movies, scrubs,

Not repeats, the new episodes. and not a single price rise or its pointless.. These all have new episodes that still haven't aired in the UK.

EDIT : whoops a few Fox owned shows there, O well.

Dam right it sucks! I was happy With Virgin, Yes the picture quailty was poor at times and for some reason my sound can go off but it was only ever for a few hours and was intermitent. Virgin/NTL has been good my last 15 years, seen great shows on skyone over the years.

Now i was forced to go to sky as the big company with all the best stuff could not agree a fee with the Virgin.

The 4400
Stargate Atlantis
Weeds great show with Sexy mom.
Stargate SG1
Rescue Me
Dream Team
Battlestar Galactica
The Dresden Files
Terry Pratchett's Hogfather that was for the kids over Xmas.
Enterprise ( finished but still quality)
Eureka second season!

Surely Virgin Media can make a good channel up, might not be as good as Sky1 however if they put on some shows which people LIKE it could make a very popular channel on the Virgin Media Platform!

The UK Sci Fi channel is showing Eureka...

AndyCambs · 03-03-2007, 23:58

I'd like some decent programmes and not American trash which seems to be everywhere.

There are other programmes that Sky has not chosen to buy that are available elsewhere on VM.Has anyone actually watched The Golden Globe Winner House with Hugh Laurie on the Hallmark channel?Or Jericho on the Hallmark Channel?or CSI on Channel 5?Frankly if you wait long enough any SF show will eventually end up on the Sci fi channel or Bravo or FX or Living eventually.All the shows that you are currently missing WILL find their way onto other channels eventually EVEN the FOX produced ones, you just have to be patient.TV programme producers have to make as much money as they can out of a series and eventually that means selling to rival channels even at a loss to get their full market value.Even the Simpsons are available eventually on the BBC.

Just be patient.Tv programmes are like trains and buses.Eventually they arrive late and into a different depot.

And Heroes & Eureka on SCI FI.

Prison Break on Five (& then re-run later on one of the UK TV channels).

The Unit on Bravo.

etc.
