Cancelling sky cos its crap!

[faginsgirl]

Apart from the war memorial documentary programmes I havent watched ANYTHING on sky so i may as well cancel it!



1. They repeat the repeats of the repeats on all channels!



2. Most of it is taken up with so called reality tv stars without talent and I can`t see the appeal of watching people`s put on private lives i.e Peter and Katie



3. Sick of people tellling me how to look good naked!



4. Sick of watching people looking to buy houses in the country for a million quid as well as a flat in the city when you are away working, AS YOU DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!:is this really a property advice programme ?



4. I will miss TCM but with the comming season I am hoping for some classic movies anyway.



If things improve please let me know. But for now I`m CANCELLING!

Agree with you, but I couldn't do without daily repeats of Frasier. It's about all I watch on Sky, although I did catch some of The House on Telegraph Hill the other day and have just finished watching the rest. Brill.

But you can get daily repeats of Frasier on C4 - it's been on a loop in the mornings for the last couple of years! 30 channels of Freeview is enough for me (not having any interest in sport does help) though it would be nice if Film 4 could get some new films - there's a limit to how many times even I can watch Night Train to Munich

Frasier is repeated every morning on Channel 4.



I know because I record it and its the first thing I do when I come home - its my buffer zone.

And I must admit, although I really like TCM, there is a limit to how many times I can watch `Gaslight` too!

I've cancelled the sports as there's plenty of online alternatives and the repetitive nature of the movies has led to me axing them too. I couldn't justify it anymore and was barely watching one film per week - simpler just to go to Blockbusters.

Yes I know, but I can watch it all day on Paramount if I so choose. I have to say that I don't though. But you know what I mean.

I cancelled a few years ago and have to say that I haven't missed it at all. There are so many free-to-air channels, including several movie channels, that satisfy me.



One music channel (Sky 260) has endless repeats of the following artists: Yes, Dennis Locorriere and Rick Wakeman - can't quite see why, though.



Then there's Channel 180 (Red) that has a few hours worth of Crown Court every day.

[Caine]

I've had it since it was BSKYB? & had a small square dish about 1989 or 90 & it was even crap then.

In fact I think they are still showing the same friggin' films.



It's gotta go...after this footie season.

[RAREFILMFINDER]

I cancelled it 3 years ago because it was just repeat after repeat.

It is quite good to watch different channels but after a time seeing the same thing over and over again drives you mad.Best thing I done was getting rid of it and will never go back.

Have Virgin now but just the same,only have a better package of services.

Cancelled two months ago when the youngest went off to University. half the time there was some weird interference anyway - atmospherics or something?

Don't miss it at all.

ISTR he was a minor character in a 1980s American comedy.

I wonder what happened to him after that series finished?

Send the Sky packages out here. Us poor ex-pats miss all that crap plus it would be a golden chance to rebuild our libraries.

I only would have it for the Simpsons,so instead I wait for their repeats on Channel 4. Other than that,it would be surplus to requirement in the House Of Bradshaw.

We have had Sky since 1999, but since I bought a laptop last year I watch it about once a month.



On the rare ocasions I do watch its usally "Frasier," or great, "Swiss Railway Journeys." on the Travel Channel, or the U.S. news channel Fox News.



I prefer radio these days anyway and I listen to one of my favourite radio stations through Sky , R.T.E. from Ireland.



I also subscribe to the 44 channel package Music Choice extra, but I have been wondering if really need this since there a shed loads of free music streaming channels on the net

Me too. But now Sky & Virgin have finally agreed a deal so we get The Simpsons on Sky 1 as part of the Virgin package again
