How is it a good thing that Sky buy up more channels, decide to close them and then transfer shows from freeview to subscription?
Sky have also tied down all HBO content. The BBC get criticised for some of their foreign expenditure but I think few would argue with them broadcasting Mad Men and The Wire on the two main channels
Its a good thing for me as I pay for Sky HD and I will (hopefully) get to see Yvonne Straczynski (god thats a mouthfull) in all her HD Glory.
That is of course if Living get the HD version as I see that they are not showing the new Nikita in HD. I also get to see it much sooner than I thought I would as it starts in two weeks rather than the 6 to 8 months I assumed it would from past series experience.
I in no way meant to malign people who only get Freeview and to be honest I wasnt even aware that Virgin 1 was a Freeview channel as I havnt looked at the freeview lineup in many years now.
Unfortunatly in this world you get what you pay for. Sky for £27 a month = many great shows that I love to watch. Freeview for zero a month = loosing out to sky on all the shows they cant afford (or outbid sky) to buy.
At the end of the day im just trying to inform people when new shows are starting so they can (if they can receive them) enjoy them as much as I do.
