What's the worst channel on SKY?

Tom Dunne · 19-11-2003 4:12pm #1

A lot of very serious discussions going on at the moment, so I thought it was time for a lighter thread.

As per the title - which channel do you think deserves the honour of worst channel?

I would like to start the ball rolling with a nomination for Channel 274 - L!ve. With it's thought provoking interviews, it's gripping nightly art programs and it's elegant soap operas, it get's my vote.

Good one.

What we'll do is, get peoples reactions, and get a top 10 and you can then vote for thee worst.

No way! Live TV is a fantastic channel. THe things that you could learn on Masterbrain are amazing.

You TV gets my vote. Not UTV. :rolleyes: We don't have that yet!

golf tv

god it's bad and boring

Richieh · 19-11-2003 5:26pm

Sky News - I'm sick of their tabloid approach. Sky One is beginning to wear me thin as well. Don't get me started on E4 and all that Salon/Big Brother/Little Brother/ bull****. Now that I thing about it, why am I paying 60 notes a month for much muck!!

eth0_ · 19-11-2003 5:28pm

€60 a month for sky? You madman!

Live! is definitely the 'winner' here. No contest!

Freeview does me grand, can't abide the sh1te that passes for television on sky!

Muslim tv is scary.

irishgeo · 19-11-2003 5:51pm

Any channel which has them text things running. i mean who is stupid enough to use them. It seems any **** channel has them with half naked ladies so the frustrated teens will keep them afloat by spending their credit on them.

Its a hard choice to pick one but i mean i never seem to watch the **** ones so its had to say which is really the worst.

donhughberto · 19-11-2003 6:00pm

It would be easier to name a decent channel, Irishgeo is right 686 to 696 puts me real dizzy, sad people galore!

Clinical Waste · 19-11-2003 6:12pm

All the God channels are crap.

(and all the shopping ones)

(and all the health ones)

SEAMUSD · 19-11-2003 6:16pm

its RTE 1 for me whats the point its just plain rubbish.

Ros Man · 19-11-2003 7:33pm

Babestation gets my vote. What a load of rubbish.

donhughberto · 19-11-2003 7:49pm

RTE 1 i think is a bit better than the kinda channels we are talking about, both rte channels have good shows like ER, Friends, The West Wing, and some decent movies esp coming up to xmas now, mostly repeats but still we watch them. Oh and forget youre a star lol!

JDxtra · 19-11-2003 8:52pm

Friendly TV or Classics TV. Eugggh.

Lukin Black · 19-11-2003 9:04pm

Anything after BBC2 (215) in the 200s gets my vote.

Though Richieh is right about E4 - that live crap was really doing my head in.

Maybe because it actually hasn't launched yet.:rolleyes: It has been up a while now and still hasn't started to show any programs so I think it was a bad mistake that they got it on Sky long before the launch. Although, I've just looked at the TV schedule and it has "countdown to Launch" on until Saturday at 7.00pm and I think it will start showing programs then. I have to say I think it will be a good channel.:)

Whether it is or not, one thing's for sure, it'll have huge audiences if similar channels stateside are any barometer.

byte · 21-11-2003 9:48pm

Excluding the "Specialist" channels (which are all crap), I vote for Friendly TV or You TV. Both are horrendous. :rolleyes:

What's the worst channel on SKY?
