    Ok, have sky hd in the house, recently decided to cancel the HD subscription.
    Just coincidentally, I've noticed no matter what I have recorded recently seems to have that all to familir old movie style flicker through it now and again. (you know the old hair on projector, eg Laurel and Hardy old movie scene)

    Now, it could purely be a coincidence that the picture got a wee bit crap since I canceled my HD subscription, but I reckon SKY are trying to make me ' believe' things were better when I had the HD subscription.

    any of you lot got a petty conspiracy theory?

    Atm, I'm kinda thinking there is WAY more salt than vinegar In these Taytos!

    Whats your petty conspiracy theory?

    Bah!!

    I Never had a hd sub but still Never got anything like the things you are talking about.

    The worst I can recall was "snow" on the screen, or the channel just not being available.

    Are you sure your not actually watching a movie from the 60's???

    I'm a huge fan of the conspiracy theories surrounding the lotto and bank holiday weekends. I get a giggle out of people repeating them and others nodding along sagely.

    Could be one of two reasons:

    !. You're buying multi-packs (the bags are smaller)
    2. You've grown up and your hands/self are much bigger!

    HB are making all their ice creams smaller.

    Not really a conspiracy theory because it'e fact.

    Loop the Loops used to be bigger and they were square at the top. Also the green bit isn't as nice. Why do they remove artificial colours and flavours. They make things better.

    Supersplits are now smaller and round at the top.

    What next.

    hey dude don't be blinded by the governments lies, my opinion holds more weight than yours because I know what REALLY went on down there. I saw a video about it on youtube, some people are so naive man how can you believe those lies.

    9/11 was an inside job bro so Osama didn't do it. He ain't even dead. You are so gullible man bro dog

    Squad cars are not available to sort out motor accidents unless there are personal injuries.
    Squad cars are always available for visiting chippers and Chinese takeaways.

    Knowing that as soon as you cancel your sky plus subscription, you are unable to record any more programmes without paying sky 10euro a month to use the feature! ... i wouldnt be suprised if those flickering lines are caused by your "lack of choice with sky"
