I'm figuring that they're going to gradually buy the rights for more shows as the months progress. Perhaps they should put some old reruns of SG-1 Seasons 1-7 to fill in some gaps, and some old scifi shows. they should move ALL the scifi shows from Fox8 and TV1 to Scifi. strangely enough Andromeda is still going to be on Fox8. I discovered the new channel yesterday while trawling through the Entertainment section. Not a lot of shows being previewed on the 'sneak preview' channel (CH 132) but the sight of SGA and BSG got me excited. It's good they're starting SG-1 on this channel at Season 8, all the Aussie Scifi fans who only watched it on TV1 only saw up to 'The lost city'. they'll probably show S9 when they finish S8, and so on. shame there's going to be no S11.

Heh, nope, that's the cycle...although watching it after a few hrs of doing something else is still exciting

I'm happy for you guys... at least now you're really getting your money's worth.
If I can get it as a standalone package, I'd be tempted.sigpic

Why doesn't someone record it and upload it somewhere

Hmm well its basically a one minute scene from each show: Medium, 4400, Battlestar, Atlantis, X-Files and Buffy. These are the same shows advertised on their main page. They have likely only had previews for these sows becaue these are first run shows that they bought specifically for the Sci-Fi Channel, whereas the other shows are crossovers.

I was considering recording it as I have a DVD Recorder but then I wouldn't have a clue how and where to upload it, as it would just save as some DVD file that would be absolutely huge in size wouldn't it? Also would it be legal (cough, cough) to do that?Originally posted by andrewag View PostWhy doesn't someone record it and upload it somewhereComment

Looking at that list, aren't they all old shows that you can buy on DVD and not have to pay a monthly fee for?
FTA has first run rights to the latest BSG and Stargate so that leaves that out too.
I'm sorry but I still can't see a justification to pay to watch TV, especially when the shows are old ones that it's cheaper to buy on DVD and watch whenever you want.Comment

For people who already have pay tv it's great news.
I can watch series that I probably wouldn't have when they were first out on FTA (not to mention the bad times they were played) when I wouldn't usually buy the DVD set of a show I hadn't enjoyed or seen before.

Obviously I wouldn't get Foxtel just for the Sci-Fi Channel. And while yes, I could buy the dvds of the X-Files, Medium, The 4400, Buffy and Battlestar Galactica (these are shows I have never seen before) I may not like them, and theres $300 down the drain in one hit.Originally posted by Nathan View Post
The reason people are excited by this channel is because they already have Foxtel and they are basically recieving these channels for free (ie. in addition to the 50+ other channels they were already getting).
Hopefully when the SG-1 movies come out, Sci-Fi will get it. Ch 7 wouldn't have first run rights to the movies and if they do get them, we'd have to wait untill they finish playing season 10...

Isaac Asimov once said individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
