Sky Digital song

Andy Mc

I don't have RTE and I don't know why,
I don't have TV3 and I don't know why,
I don't have ITV or Channel Five,
Because I Sky, because I got Sky, because I got Sky

For anyone who doesn't know what he's referring to, the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show's "Gift Grub" featured a song late last year along the lines of Afroman's "Because I got high", sung by "Bertie" (Mario Rosenstock).

I'm sure a recording of it exists somewhere on www.todayfm.com , for anyone interested.

But as to starting another topic about the channels not featured on Sky Digital, I'm sure we don't need it...

If you want to talk about the song...well, okay. If you want to talk about lack of channels, two threads already open.

I'll come back later and see how this thread develops.

If this is the real Declan Meehan, Why dont you do an
article on your show about the UTV/Ch4 debacle on Sky Digital.
If you are not (real Declan Meehan), clear off, Thanks

carrolls

Uncle Grueber

Hey Andy Mc,
you'll have to change the lyrics of your sond by the end of the month...

Mossy Monk

Uncle Grueber, do you know something the rest of us don't know?

byte

I hope it's good, whatever he knows!!!

Uncle Grueber

I have my sources... But it will be good, esp for dmeehan...

Mossy Monk

spill the beans man and why will it be especially good for dmeehan and not the rest of us

Uncle Grueber

Sorry man, I can't say. Believe me, I'd love to, but it would be my jobs worth.

DMC

A mole!

Keep diggin' sir!

Now this is intriguing .... You got me guessing. UTV back on, this time with placement? C4? Extra BBCs to co-incide with launch of BBC4? BBC Radio?

It's like being a kid and waiting for Santa ...

Mossy Monk

you're right about the Santa thing. he has me guessing too. Uncle Grueber, i sincerely hope you are not bulls**tting us. what line of work are you in BTW? if something is going to be appearing on our EPG's i am sure it will be on a sheet of A4 bundled with our Sky magazines due out next week

PacMan

I too hope that Uncle Grueber, (who registered today) is not doing a "Wind Up".

Uncle Grueber

I've said too much already.

I dunno... I presumed at first that Uncle Grueber was referring to the apparent upcoming addition of RTÉ, and possibly ITV to the Sky Digital package... (?)

KdjaCL

on sky now ,we get it soon on test .
if i had the link i would post it now .

Clinical Waste

Hmmmm, I wonder if Uncle Grueber is related to the Aunty?
(If so, could be a nice source -does Boards.ie have a fund for informants?)

Uncle Grueber

No, I'm not related to Aunty. And Jebus, I wish I was a paid informant. All I can say is there's a clue in the recent goings on in the past week.

Clinical Waste

Understandably you can't say what, but any chance of a more specific when?

Uncle Grueber

I believe at the end of the month. I'm not sure whether that means testing starts or whether it means anouncement being made.

Clinical Waste

excellent...
