| 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, Does this mean 90% of your post's sre rubbish? |

| 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: http://www.theinvaders.co.uk/ It seemed to go and on for ever, and then I missed the last episode and never did discover what happened :lol: |

Who in their right mind wants to watch re-runs of rugby played ten years ago? Exactly. Frack the sports channels and bring in some Sci Fi. :cool: |

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. Jeff. |
