Sky Arts, More4, Film4, Paramount, and National Geographic usually feed me passing interests.
Dave for my Qi, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Top Gear fixes, Sky One for Simpsons and Sky Sports News just for when adverts are plaguing other channels. :)

I love the sports and movies channels, but also enjoy Sky One and FX for the American drama series (Lost, Prison Break, Dexter, The Wire, etc).

I do watch some stuff on SkyArts too, just to try to absorb a little culture. ;)

Channels 1-5 and the +1 hr channels, we went through the Sky+ the other day and all the recorded stuff was from the channels that were free.....so after 5 years my Sky+ may be making way for a Thompson Freeview HDD....with free Setanta for 1 year and no other monthly expense...:rolleyes:

Those are called 'comedy' dramas and are not reality. Do you have those over there? ;)

Im with you Mr C. Free to air is enough for us, no TV licences either so not going to pay for more crap.
