why not do what manker did and blag an invite (through me) to bitmetv
it has everything and fast DL speed, hundreds of seeders on those popular shows.
ntl/viginmedia wankers i noticed just now sky1 as gone
Allen,
That would be nice, I hadn't thought of that. If you could give me an invite I would very much appreciate it.
Who is at fault here - Virgin or Sky? I need to know.Quote:

So long as I can get my stargate stuff I'm not that bothered but.
Particliarly if Virgin come good with the 20MB interwebs by June and moving towards 50 in the near future.
@Mr JP Fugley

They are currently saying no download limits.
orsum, orsum to the max:smilie4:
still can't watch futurama on the tellybox though:dry:
That's bad for other people. However if I can download the SKY1 stuff I want, but get other things from Virgin Media, than it's all good.
e.g the free TV on demand is getting much better and they are adding more partners in the near future. Have you checked on-demand recently, it's worth a look.
Ja, I watched the office on it earlier. I wonder if they'll fix it so it doesn't come up with "Service tempoarily unavailable" nearly every fecking time.Quote:

I've never saw that "Service tempoarily unavailable".
Why don't you just link the SkyTV to your one in the bedroom then have both.
cause it's not mine, I don't think me ma would appreciate me thieving the tellybox out the living room:unsure:
edit: the service temporarily unavailable message seems to happen mostly when I try to watch something at loiyke 1-3am, perhaps they update it then or something
I meant split the signal after it was decoded, rather than actually nick your Mam's telly stuff. Or even better, you can get another Sky box for about 10 or 15 squids a month. Then it splits the signal and you own box decodes it.Quote:

Already got a second sky box, like, in my brother's bedroom.
The answer's obvious then. Nick his.Quote:

Good idea:smilie4:
You know it makes sence.
Are your menus and stuff all black and yellow like the ones on the information channel thingy? Mine are still blue n say telewest:unsure:
Mine haven't changed, colourwise. I was NTL and the menus look the same.
There's a new version of PCGuard (or whatever) btw. I've not downloaded it yet but. I will soon. I like the idea that anti-virus software upgrades every few hours.
It's still as annoyingly slow, like:no:
What's slow.
using the menus, changing channel, opening any of the on demand stuff etc.
I dunno about NTL, but telewest has always been fookin terrible for being slow.
My mates just signed up with this Virgin mob and he got upgraded to 10mb (the cunt) whereas I'm stuck on 1mb down due to my distance from the exchange, and I'm the one who gets letters from Pipex saying I've abused their Fair Usage Policy or whateverthefuckitscalled. :( Time to move to a cable area...
Anyway this Sky malarkey, I see it says Freeview is next for the chop? Doesn't really bother me, I download all my good shows, and only watch council telly fir the news. Like every time I turn the box on it's some Celebrity Fat Club pishy reality TV gayness anyway.
I saw the add for the pipex interweb earlier, 10mb with a 2gb monthly limit:no:
Celebrity Fat Club :glag:
Not slow for me. However I was talking to a chap today who had a similar problem and also things like interactive would freeze, so he had to re-boot the box.Quote:

Sorry if that was too technical like.
Yup they're taking their stuff away from Freeview.Quote:

I'm given to understand that Fox News may be guilty of mild political bias.
Setanta seem to be taking a similar cuntish attitude, with monthly subscription only through top up tv on freeview. It might have something to do with the codes being on the internet for one off games, but when there's only a half a dozen games a year worth watching, it seems a bit of a waste.Quote:

The half a dozen games I speak of are the only ones rangers play well.
I thought i'd better get in first with that.

You must be looking forward to the run in. There's only a few games left to go and you'll be playing well in 6 of them. :OQuote:

Obviously I want to win, that goes without saying. However it would be a real laugh to watch them celebrating winning one game and fuck all trophies.
We're actually playing pish just now, but it's difficult for me to get excited about what is essentially a meaningless game to us.
And also, I'm really enjoying watching the Jambos getting fucked just now. It's great car crash football. It's more fun than watching the harry hun, they're kind of like a non-entity.
good old jambo cunts best team in scotland they told us, now look at them.
sky were asking for too much money, virgin told them to fuck off, check the full page ad's both rented in the tabloids.
As long as I can get me stargate I dodn't give a toss about sky one.
I doubt if they can afford to lose the Virgin sport and movie viewers.
