A wife's needs (How I got Sky)

[Oakie]

Food Channel (38 I think) is always good to kill a bit of time. Interesting without having to concentrate too much. Trouble is we always get hungry watching it.

[Colapop]

Do ya hafta pay for the food channel?
We don't get the movies - just all the 'free' ones plus sport. The reception was a big selling point for us too.

[MisterD]

Do ya hafta pay for the food channel?

Depends what you mean by "pay", does suffering Ainsley Harriot count?

[Colapop]

So you can just type in 38 and Voila! Food - MMmmmm Food!

[Lou Girardin]

Does it have aromavision?

[Sniper]

Yay! American Chopper!

That sounds Oh so convincing.

[Hitcher]

That sounds Oh so convincing.

OK, cause I really do enjoy it! Great comic theatre, more than a "motorcycling" show.

[Oakie]

Do ya hafta pay for the food channel?.

I think it's just part of the free bundle.

Ainsley is a bit of a goose, Emeril is a dick, there is one annnnnoying woman from the Southern States who does 'good old fashioned down on the ranch' cooking ... but the rest of it is pretty watchable.
There's even a programe dedicated to cocktail making...

...
Anyhoo, my wife has to have an op on her feet and will be house-bound for two weeks and barely mobile for a further four.
....

So did you have to smash her feet yourself...?

[Lou Girardin]

So did you have to smash her feet yourself...?

I couldn't do that to the woman I love - maybe a toe, but that'd be it.

Internet TV ( Winamp Shout cast) also some pay to view which is cheap actually,

I dont know about NZ internt conditions, so I not sure if its possible
Anyway Last nite there was 150 streams as in 150 channels , I ended up watching Black adder, No adverts , reasonable quality screen.

Tv from all over the world. If the wife likes shortland street then the Korean dramas would be right up her alley ( shortland street on steriods)

I am thinking about paying for the Supermotard and MX season....maybe maybe not ,,,,,,,,,,

Ps ..NO RUGBY OR CRICKET !!!!!

[MacD]

I'd always sworn I'd never give in to the the parasites at Sky and get their devils spawn TV.
Anyhoo, my wife has to have an op on her feet and will be house-bound for two weeks and barely mobile for a further four.
She thought it would be nice to have Sky movies while she's stuck at home.
So, what's a loving husband to do at the start of the Superbike and F1 season?

My wife wanted Sky to watch Cricket and Rugby - as a good husband I just had to agree

She now watches SBK, MotoGP and F1 too! (hopefully the last two won't be as delayed as they were on Prime and TV1)

Though she has developed a liking for the Living Channel recently

[enigma51]

You discover there's actually just as much crap on Sky as on the other channels, and that renting the DVDs you want it cheaper, then you cancel the "Devil's Spawn TV" and go back to yer average rubbish.

Well, that's what we did anyway.

and no superbike for you

[SPORK]

Yay! American Chopper!

I hope you're being serious! I love American Chopper! Oh Gosh!

[Deviant Esq]

Three reasons why I subscribe to Sky...

Sport, sport, and More sport.

You just don't get sports on free to air TV. I don't really like forking out so much money to Sky, as has been asserted earlier, there's still too much crap on it from advertising, as if they don't earn enough through our subcriptions. But without Sky I wouldn't get sport, and that's pretty much all I watch on TV except news and CSI (the original Las Vegas lot). Looking forward to the F1 season too.

And as Hitcher said... welcome to the dark side.
