Why won't anyone reply to me?

I've heard some rumors that there may be a new channel
launching soon in the United States called "SKY America", which I believe
will carry programs like "Blockbusters" and SKY-related programs (not like
the American programs on SKY Channel, or SKY One, because of the licenses
FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, and others has for those).

Someone told me it would, more or less, go on DirecTV because Hughes was
bought in part by B-SKY-B not too long ago.

Can anyone tell me whether or not B-SKY-B will launch this channel anytime
soon? (Obviously, SKY is only doing this because of the success
Discovery's
had with BBC America, but no complaints here!) Futhurmore, can anyone
tell
me specifically on which satellite/cable providors? Currently, DirecTV,
Echostar's Dish Network, and Time Warner Cable (here in El Paso) has BBC
America, but I've been told the likelihood of Echostar getting SKY America
is slim to none. However, we have TWCable now, so I was wondering if Time
Warner Communications would pick up a contract for SKY America?

So far, we've only been able to see a half-an-hour of SKY Sports on FOX
Sports World via Satellite (and some digi cable providors) and I'd like to
see SKY News again as well as some of the other programming from other
channels, ESPECIALLY since I've been told SKY has changed to orang-ish
idents recently.

Cheers!

Perhaps no one knows? Not likely we'd know anything this side of the
Atlantic, I'd have thought.

Regards

You're not guaranteed a reply just because you post a message. People
will reply if they feel like it. If you don't get an answer try looking
somewhere else - don't whine about not getting a response now/in future,
if you post again.

Try a different approach - include a statement that is factually incorrect
and a couple of dozen people will post to correct you. :)

Ah, okay. I mistook the tone. Though you were saying "Sky America"...isn't
it! Like a condescending tone...

Not trying to convince anything--I am who I am. Whether you choose to
believe that or not is your decision.

And who you're not is Dan Radcliffe from HP. Sorry mate, I can say
this with absolute certainty, he doesn't use Usenet, and in the forums
he does use, he NEVER uses his real name, especially to try and
illicit replies out of people. He doesn't abuse his fame. Plus he's
not an arrogant ****.

Just out of curiosity, if the real Daniel Radcliffe never uses his
name how exactly do you know that he is Daniel Radcliffe and not just
someone else pretending to be him? I'm sure that I could do a
believable impression of him in a forum if I tried.

I didn't say I knew him from a forum, although unlike our pretend Dan,
I don't wish to namedrop (I just hate when people pretend to someone
they aren't). I'd rather not say how I know Daniel, but suffice to say
it isn't through the internet.

Sky were considering launching Sky News in America but Fox News complained
to News International and the idea was dropped. If you trawl through the
Diginews archives you'll find the releavnt story
