Default Why won't anyone reply to me?

I've posted this several times, and NO ONE has replied yet! Please reply
soon. Message is:

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.

http://www.sky-america.com/ clearly isn't it! ;-)

You may get more information simply by e-mailing BSkyB at
- we here in the UK do not tend to be up-to-date with what
is happening in US TV-land.

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...
