got sky digital installed today, ready for the footy season in a few weeks ;)

got the "sky world" package - which is pretty much all of it, apart from the "extra" ones like film4 etc.

have had a skim through the 600 or so channels of cack and managed to find a couple of interesting music channels and an interesting program about james dean on the biography channel. :von:

but thats about it - there's way too much stuff to be able to work out what you want - this will take some time! :urff:

anyone got any recommendations for anything else worth watching? when and what channel?

Usually Discovery Channels, History and UK History. You've probably found MTV2 and Kerrang. Challenge TV for Takeshi's Castle, naturally. And right now Starsky and Hutch on Granada Plus :notworthy:

Well, enjoy the Sky - was staying over with friends last night who have the "every channel on the planet" option - still nothing to see apart from the novelty value of the shopping channels, sure it will supply the footie though - funny how so much of it is reruns of the BBC stuff, oh and obviously if you are a home owner and need a loan it will give you plenty of choices :wink: , or had an accident.....

I would recommend Takeshi's Castle as well, also Discovery Home and Leisure has late night poker on at midnight during the week.
Not to everyone's taste but i also like Two Guys and a Girl on Trouble TV, although the channel can lead to an over-exposure of Engel

try friendly TV (268 i think? )

it is absolutely appalling and therfore by default, enticing and addictive.

It's been on air for about 2 months now :eek: I can only assume Roman is funding this project too :?

Well I used to subscribeto FilmFour then had a fit of pique when they wanted to charge me double. I only realised how much I actually watched it once it had gone :'(

I spend a lot of time on Paramount (sucker for Happy Days and Mork & Mindy) hoping and praying for some re-runs of Laverne & Shirley!

Radio 6 is a must but you knew that anyway. Discovery and that caboodle are great...look out for Nippy and his mate who bought a rundown barn in France!
