Sky's idiocity
 
Programs in 16:9. Commercials in 4:3

How much dumber can you get ?

And why is Sky Travel still being called Sky Travel in my EPG when the DOG
says Sky Three ?

My EPG says Sky Three - I've got Sky +.

Maybe a rescan of your box might change the channel name?

No, it doesn't at the moment. Presumably at some stage the name as
transmitted will be updated, but it's still coming up as Sky Travel
when I rescanned at 0950. Depending on your box, you may be able to
change the name in your channel list if you want to.

Since the English language does not have a sufficiently large enough
vocabulary to describe the concept I am trying to convey I have been forced
to invent a new word.

Idiocity = i-dee-o(h)-sit-ee (definition 1) taking actions or making
decisions that are idiosyncratic and contrary to everyone else's
expectations and common sense.

I think that the word you were looking for was 'idiocy'.

The day-time EPG schedule still seems to be travel programmes.


All times are GMT +1. The time now is 06:19 PM.
