Sky+ information
 

Thank you all for your help these last few days. I have ordered
sky+ and they should be coming to install it later today..
I also ordered sky movies 1 3 7 and 9 and after several
mistakes it is finally correct except they have given me
sky sports, which I have never asked for and do not want.
I hope this afternoon goes better!
Thank you all again.
Pam.

You may find its pretty much the same price with or without Sky Sports.
Or the same if you added the even numbered movie channels instead. This is
because the Sky+ £10 a month is waived if you have two premium channels.
Check prices before cancelling.

I have sorted it out now and have sky movies 1 and 2 and not sky sports
I am also very pleased with Sky + I did not realize it would be so easy
to use. I should have done it a long time ago.

I didn't know you could pick a couple of movies channels! I thought it was
all or nothing... how much is it for a couple of channels? Do you qualify
for free multiroom?

We are on Sports and pay £10 for multiroom...

Thanks,

Colin

I think its about a tenner for a couple of channels. and its a tenner for S+
which is waived if you have the two extra channels. but not waived for
multiroom. They have a web site, you could always check on the prices :-)

....and please dont top post.

Why not top post?

I prefer it.....!!

When going through an indented thread in my newsreader with a narrow
auto preview pane at the bottom, it is an utter pain (not pane!) to have
to scroll through a message's quoted posts to get to the bottom-posted
reply.

In my experience it's much easier and quicker to read through responses
if they are top posted. I never seem to lose track of what post related
to what because in an "indented" thread the posts are easy to keep track of.

Live and let live I say, and let people post as they see fit.

A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting.

Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

People getting annoyed by top-posting is no one's problem but their own!

I have had a lifetime of reading from left to right and from top to
bottom. Reading "bottom up" is not a natural experience for me.

Perhaps "bottom feeders" are an anachronism from the days when text
terminals scrolled previous lines up the screen as new text was input or
received. As true "text-based" usenet applications pre-dated most
Internet interaction as we know it today, there is no need, in my
opinion, to request any user to adhere to a protocol (bottom posting)
whose roots are apparently in a bygone era. Particularly when today's
technology (well what I use anyway) enables me to more comfortably read
and more quickly read top-posted messages than bottom posted ones.

My $0.02 FWIW !

Exactly! Reading the flow of messages from top to bottom is the most natural
way.
