You know what the stupid thing is...I want to watch Boardwalk Empire...the sister took over the TV just to watch Big Fat Gypsy Wedding...even though I set it to record for an hour later, and I can't record it because Grey's Anatomy is also set to record. She better hope to Zeus that the pilot is going to be on demand!

Can't. If I smash the TV...what will I watch? Plus the dog hates violence, so I can't beat her up.

But all is right with the world, got BE to record, at the expense of Grey's.

There does seem to be an awful lot of people looking forward to it so I think you may be wrong. Not everyobody downloads television shows.

I'm one of those that "acquires" shows like this but I still think it's fantastic. Just because I see a lot of this stuff before it airs here, doesn't mean I see ALL of it. Being able to catch shows I've missed like Six Feet Under or new shows that have managed to pass me by like Treme and being able to see them in a week by week manner without having to catch up all in one go (plenty of other things to watch during the week as it is!) is great.

37 mins of ads in a 53 minute episode. Seems they've brought the bad of American television along with the good.

this is why you have a sky plus box and start viewing the show at 9.20 then by 10:30 you've caught up and skipped all the ads anyway

Yup. First episode is up, right now.

Recorded pilot episode of X Files this morning, just went to watch it and it's not widescreen......4:3 format with black bars on side, very annoying.

Before anyone says, on my Samsung TV I can adjust vertical zoom but not horizontal.

Don't understand this as I see older shows on other channels in full 16:9 format.

Anyone know why is this?

Its just the way it was filmed, dont think it went widescreen until the fourth or fifth season. Fox were particularly slow at moving to widescreen.

So being on UPC I haven't see Sky Atlantic.

The big shake up seems only to revolve around that channel, because Sky 1, 2, 3, Living, +1 etc seem to be as bad as ever. However Channel 1 has seen a big improvement.

For this shake up to work Sky really need to up the game across their channels so far they haven't done this.

Why re-brand Sky 3 when its going to be called Pick TV in a few weeks time?
