    You don't honestly expect us to believe you were watching something other than porn do you?

    With that and the rumoured price hike in march. I can see Sky losing some business here.

    We'll probably think about switching too. Virgin are always trying to flog their packages, which look decent.

    Will definitely expect a reduction in my bill if Sky stop broadcasting these channels.

    You'd also miss the porn - don't think there is any on Q.

    Ah it's ok my friend, having a dodgy ticker it might be for the best.
  • Just had a letter from sky saying they're increasing the price again. It's only a couple of £ extra but it's the 2nd price increase in 6 months.

    Thinking of getting rid

    If you're in contract you'll be able to get out of it early if they've raised your prices twice now.

    That was predictable!

    My wife was doing her nut last night because she watches those "Women who kill" programs most nights as we go to bed - she was pissed that they might not be available any more.

    More to the point - if I ever disappear suddenly....you now all know my wife has topped me

    those programmes are also known as 'Murder porn'
  • Wouldn't miss discovery if it went. Once upon a time the documentary channels used to show documentary programmes. Now its just reality tv around some nonsense bullshit trying to convince you its real.
