Well the deadline passed a few minutes ago and Sky One is no longer broadcast on ntl:Virgin (and Sky will soon no longer be broadcasting any programs on Freeview unless you sign up for them).
At first when I heard about this, I was upset and annoyed.
But as I thought about it more, I realised I wasn’t going to miss Sky One. It shows mostly repeats and I’ve been using it in a lazy way, watching any old junk rather than surfing the myriad of other great channels and shows, or (as a truly outrageous suggestion), turning the damn TV off and doing something else instead.
I’ll buy the DVD box sets of the shows I’ll miss. They’re cheap enough online and come out soon after the show broadcasts anyway, so what’s the big deal?
