| 815864 | 2009-10-01 19:03:00 | I like the way they repeat the program several times during the day so you can watch it if you missed it. But then I found that they were repeating the same program several times during the month ! Yes they do. However, you try watching something you missed. Then you discover it's not repeated that often. I don't mean on the same day - I mean later that month. It will be eventually which is good in my opinion. They do tend to repeat stuff again much much later though - like the Air Crash programs. A few new ones and all the old ones again and again. COme on, I know it takes ages for them to be investigated but there have been some more crashes since.... But it beats normal TV still. |

| 815865 | 2009-10-01 19:25:00 | What is normal pctek?? There is just as much garbage on pay tv as there is on free tv . I remember when I upgraded from the Sky UHF service to Sky digital many years ago . At first, I thought it was brilliant but after a while, I realised that instead of 5 channels of crap, I now had 35 or so channels of crap . Sky also seem to rebadge old programs and introduce them as new ones . Ken |

| 815869 | 2009-10-02 01:06:00 | MySky is great, IMO. But it is coming to the point where it's unacceptable. Repeats are fine, but not how sky movies does it. You will see the same movie repeated no less than 4 times in 24 hours. And a few days later, 4 times again. It gets bad. History Chanel was nice for some time, but they either repeat the same thing or just post something with 99% same content. It gets annoying fact. If the internet was better in this country, I would not need sky. Can you watch rugby games live online live? Would it be free? When my area gets the line upgrade, I will reconsider sky. Cheaper and easier online. |

| 815870 | 2009-10-02 01:14:00 | I understand the repeats. There is only so much new content out there. Its the fact that they wait 6-18 months before they air the shows. By this time its old hat. So I paid top $ just for them to NOT play current TV shows & then advertise them as being new when they air them 12months later. These are they popular shows/docos/comedies that they delay. Whats going on sky. Not just sky, but TV1,2,3. Final series of soprano's, lets not show the final episode when theres a lot of buzz about it & fans(not me) are desperate to view it. No wonder so many people just download TV programs instead a banana is deserved :banana :banana :banana |

| 815871 | 2009-10-02 01:19:00 | Come to think, did anyone ever end up showing The Shield in it's entirety? | Cato (6936) | ||
| 815872 | 2009-10-02 01:26:00 | Worse than what? It has never been good, I tried it briefly and got rid of it again. When I lived alone the rep came door knocking asking if I wanted sky TV I said only if it comes with a free TV as I didn't have one at that point in my life, the rep just walked away wouldn't letme have a TV so I could then buy his sky package.
