    Virgin Media Customers lose Sky One

    Hi all

    for all you UK cable customers, just to let you know that we may lose Skyone at the end of this month, which will mean we will not be able to watch the rest of Stargate.

        Well it states that only Cable customers will be affected not SKY customers. So Satellite customers should be fine. Its only because the contract ends this month with Sky, and Virgin Media are arguing that SKY are asking for more money for this channel.

            yes telewest customers are affected, as Virgin Media has taken over NTL: Telewest.

                of course they will, but Virgin should know that Skyone has the most popular US shows on, which hopefully should mean we will keep it. It was like when we nearly lost Nickelodeon before they overturned it, I have only seen the advert once on skyone and that was just before The Simpsons started or it was shown when the adverts were on.

                    *Glares at Virgin*

                    Sky One's about the only decent channel left on British TV!

                      If ntl gets rid of it at the end of the month thats completely ridiculous although it doesnt affect me the end of the month is like an episode maybe 2 away from the end of the series, thats a disgrace so close to the end after ten years and they give u the shaft.

                        Oooh!

                        I did an internet survey thing last week about Sky, Virgin and general Satellite/cable broadcasting in the UK.

                        I gave very positive response to SKY1 being the reason I have SKY.

                        I've seen a lot of virgin media adverts on terrestial channels and I wondered what that was all about.

                        Very interesting.

                            Stupid Sky.

                            I doubt Sky One will be dropped from cable.

                              Its just Sky S*** Stirring, the advert is only going out on the Cable feed for Sky One. Its because Virgin wont pay extra for Sky Channels because Sky want to pay less for virgins channels.

                              Its a tug of war, and as usual the customers suffer.


                              Sky is just a bully.
