380570 2005-08-12 23:14:00 I asked Sky about it a while ago. They said they have no plans to get it as it wouldn't get enough viewers. Probably true.
They said ratings for SF stuff shown on other channels is low and shows it is not popular enough. Also probably true.
Most of the overseas stuff is rubbish anyway - 90% of anything is rubbish. Still, I'd be keen for the remaining 10% - no different from any of the other channels...
An the Tech channel too. WHich Telstra people get.

Telstra people haven't had tech T.V for some time now,

380572 2005-08-13 00:38:00 Sky won't bring in any Tech or Sci Fi channels, they're too busy with three chanels of sport, one completely dedicated to rugby. Who in their right mind wants to watch re-runs of rugby played ten years ago? Sb0h (3744)
380573 2005-08-13 02:14:00 Bring back The Invaders :thumbs:

Exactly. Frack the sports channels and bring in some Sci Fi. :cool:

I really liked the bit about "How to recognize an Alien"

Reminds me of my current boss!

:-)

More SCI FI thanks! Should I mention Mork from Ork? Or Blake's 7, Terminator and to go back a bit, "The day the world/earth stood still" Rennie was in that I think.

Anyway I vote for sci-fi.

380577 2005-08-13 09:17:00 If you look at the Scifi Channel in the states, they not only play Scifi, but Horror and Fantasy as well.
I don't believe Sky saying there wouldn't be enough demand for it.
I mean, how many people pay for the ARTS Channel?
Maybe I should do something about it (a petition perhaps???)

380578 2005-08-14 01:39:00 Hahahahaha, I want a millitary channel!!! But NZ army got nothing but Strykers. JimboJones (1680)
380579 2005-08-14 05:26:00 I would get Sky digital if it had the SciFi channel. I know of a few others who would as well.

Anyone heard yet if TV2 have Stargate Atlantis yet?
Looks like we will get Stargate Season 8 and Stargate Atlantis on Dvd before it is shown on TV.
