OT : VirginMedia TV Users

If your package is big enough (M,L & XL iirc) then you'll have some Sky
Channels back now FOC. Sky One is at 121 on the Box.

 

Coo, it is. Nice one.

 

And about fucking time too. Now we'll have even more channels not to watch.

I noticed that on the pikey level of VM that we have, Sky3 is now on.
It seems to consist of exactly the same rubbish that's previously been
on ITV3/4 or Dave.

 

top tip: cheers.

 

Apparently, it all happens on Thursday for us (not sure if it's this week or
next) but like you say, the majority of it has all been aired a few
(hundred) times before.

I had an amusing discussion with a door to door Sky salesman that was
targetting Virgin users. He ask how I felt about Virgin not providing
Sky1 any longer. Told him that I hadn't even noticed. He listed the
programmes that I was missing, and it was like a Hamster and Clarkson
discussion...

H: 24
M: Seen it
H: Lost
M: Shit
H: Desperate Housewives
M: Shit
H: Simpsons
M: Shit
H: Some other programme
M: Never heard of it

 

the only thing we really watched on Sky1 was Stargate, but that's
finished now anyway.

 

I can only get ITV1-4, Channel 4, More 4 & E4 on Freeview - nothing
else until 2012. Everything else I want is available straight off the
satellite dish, except for Dave & Eurosport. Which is a bit of a shit
really.

Talking of which, how come a satellite with presumably limited power
can send a signal over 22,000 miles, but a Freeview transmitter can't
even manage 35 miles?

There's not so many hills in the way.

 

Same here, except s/Sky/Virgin/

And with Eurosport losing the MotoGP, it did make me think about ditching
cable for a while, but really the racing's a bit pants these days compared
to WSB and BSB.

OTOH, I much prefer the Tivo over the Humax recorder, so I record what I
can from cable on Tivo, and any clashes go to the Freeview Hummy.

I keep meaning to build a HTPC, but I just don't seem to have time.

 

The dish area is huge compared to the relevant bit on a yagi and the LNB
is very sensitive. Then you have the distance effects of shitty weather
on a path from the Freeview transmitter to you, compared to the very
thin atmosphere the sat signals come through.

 

That bit I can believe, but...

....that bit sound dubious, considering the fact my sat dish is
virtually horizontal, & also pointing straight at a concrete block wall.

Mountains should have holes in
To see the other side.
By observing the view through this aperture
Would save a considerable ride.
