We’ve got Virgin Media cable TV, and, ooh, 18 months or so ago they had a slight argument with BSkyB. The outcome was that Sky threw their toys out of the pram and withdrew all their channels from Virgin’s service. They expected everyone to ditch Virgin as a result, but, of course, many people barely even noticed. It’s not like Sky are the pinnacle of quality programming.
In fact, the only thing I noticed was the lack of The Simpsons to watch every night. Only Channel 4 have that covered anyway.
But this week, Sky have come crawling back. And? We now have three main Sky channels instead of one, but the shows are the same. Literally. It’s still the same old Simpsons, Futurama, and Malcolm in the Middle repeats. Phew! Thanks for coming back, Sky! I don’t know what I did without you. Oh yeah - the same as I do now. Not watch.
