    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.

    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.

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

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

    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...

    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 !!!!!

    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

    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.
    Soapbox house of cards and glass, so don't go tossing your stones around.
    You musta been.... high. You musta been...
