Converted large house. Supposed to be a big shared aerial? Walls aren't supposed to be black either, but there you are.  >:(

This is the saddest thing for me.

We now have all the best in technology, like media centres, ultra wide screen high def TV's, high def video, hdd recorders, the ability to watch all of our video simultaneously all over the home, etc etc etc.

There is absolutely bugger all to watch on them. I have got rid of Sky TV and when the current TV finally packs in, I strongly suspect that it won't be replaced.  :(
We're considering ditching NTL(now Virgin) and just getting Freeview from BT (we don't get it over the air, pathetic). Not worth paying for extra channels of toss.

I find freeview good, a lot of the channels are sh"t but depends what you want, i watch a lot of the history and film 4.


I record a lot - don't watch much live

Hmm, when I say 'we have' I actually mean that they are available.

Getting rid of Sky was one of the best things I've done in a long time. I now realise that repeats of Street Wars, Road Wars, Cops on Camera, etc etc etc are not worth almost £50 per month.  :)


And they are on Freeview ;D

One thing that annoys me is when people criticise films purely for not being like the book it was based on.  What works in a book will not work on screen for a variety of reasons, which is why films are never like the books.

Take 007 films - possibly the most successful film franchise ever - none of them are like the original books.  They are still (mostly) good films.
