I didn't really watch Sky 1 anyway but sometimes skynews is useful to have on in the background when there's nowt else on. If I had desperately wanted to see those channels I would have done so on Freeview, but I didn't.

It will be good to get Homer back.

Yeah new Simpsons, and first runs of some good american shows and Sky Sports News hurrah.

Sky One's only going to be on L and XL though and I'm on the basic M package at the moment. If we upgraded there's be more kids channels for the little fella. I still don't think the weife will go for it...

Afraid so JamesM. Sadly the policy of having a freeview imitator on M has been such since the merger.
