Briantist: Sky are like the Ferengi in that they are out to make as much money as possible and do not care about who they hurt in the process at least the Ferengi are fun and often get put back in their place, unlike Sky. They are also like the Borg in that they take things over and not for the better unless it is for themselves. But like the Ferengi, the Borg get put back in their place.
Where is Captain Janeway when we need her. She has been booted off freeview with the unfair demise of C1

Saxon: How true, but we will have more choice as we now have spontaneous zombification as well.

Mark A: Thank you for that but after the way I was treated by Sky over some money they wanted me to pay them for nothing, I would rather take my £100-£200 a year and stuff it right down the nearest drain hole. I too would like to see series 2 of V but will not pay Sky IE Rupert Murdock for it. I would rather just go without it. I personally think the original V was better.

Gail: No, he is not a snake, that is an insult to all snakes. Snakes are beautiful creatures, believe me I know.
He is a greedy monster and he and Sky are just out to make more money for themselves and their money grabbing share holds. As far as they are concerned everyone else can go to hell in a hand basket and all that freeview people deserve is another load of crap. We do not even get a replacement channel whose repeats are good quality programs. I fail to see how it would have cost more to show repeats of good dramas and documentaries rather than the dross that we got landed with. No doubt someone will explain this point. I think they just went for the cheapest option and the fact that there was virtually no warning that C1 was going and they pulled it in the middle of several series that people were watching just shows the contempt that Sky and Rupert Murdock have for people. I suspect the idea is to make freeview so crappy that we will have no choice but to subscribe to pay TV of some kind. Do we not have enough quiz and game shows on there as it is, not to mention all the shopping channels and late night sex channels, no, we will get more of this total rubbish and less and less good stuff until there is nothing on it that anyone with an IQ above an amoeba will want to watch. TV will become something that people on low income or pensions will not have as there are already many people who can not afford to pay for it. I think this is all wrong and it needs sorting out fast.
Freeview will be nothing but rubbish and once it is they will shut it down as it will not be worth anyone's while to keep it going. They want to make you pay for your TV one way or another. There is only one way to hurt these people and that is to cancel your subscriptions to them and hit them in the pocket. While everyone sits and moans about it but does nothing then they will just carry on milking it for every last penny. As Briantist says Sky is there to make money. That attitude needs to be changed.

Missed Star Trek this afternoon along with a lot of others. Not that Sky care one iota about what the people who can only get freeview want to watch, or what we think.
I read a book this afternoon and then went out seeing as Star Trek is now gone. What I have not done is re-tune my box to get that other channel they have put on in its place and I will not be bothering either. There is more than enough shite on freeview already.
Greedy lot of so and so's

They make their serious profit at the expense of those people who are on low income then. How typical is that.
