Grrrrrrrrrrr!
 
I bit the bullet and signed up with those-who-shall-remain-nameless to get a
new card. Had to hang on the phone for ten minutes before I got to speak to
a real person.

Grrrrrrrrr!!!

Si :o)

There is a bit in Revelations / Damien Omen II:

"and no man shall buy or sell TV programmes unless he bareth the mark of the
beast on his viewing card. And that number be-ith the number of 0870 666
666, the number of the Murdoch who is seated in the city of seven hills..."




I think I'll let my Sky box shut down if its all the same...




PS - Have you seen that Sky advert with baldy Elton John without eyes. What
is this product? Some kind of Fame Academy or variety show?

"Are you ready? Are you ready to be milked-dry by Sky?"

Certainly Ch4 , sometimes Ch5 but what is this Ch3 I can't find it on my
system - I don't think I've ever had it - the closest thing is BBC3 .... in
which case (assuming that you've already seen all their output) is no.

Yes on another forum recently they were discussing the merits of ITV.
One poster gave 101 reasons why ITV sucks.



**Only** 101? He wasn't trying very hard then ; )

IIRC they wanted to change the name to Channel 3 but received a lot of
complaints!

IIRC, they didn't receive complaints, it's just that no-one gave a care.
