Foxtel
We have just ordered Foxtel, I see on UK.tv that Eastenders and Coronation street are repeated during the day, Is it the same episode or does it change. Also how far behind are they? Hopefully not as far behind as access 31!!!

I thought the only reason you get Foxtel was to watch the news. The Naked News. Well thats why I got it.

I don't watch Eastenders or Coronation Street - but I did catch about five minutes of Eastenders the other day. It looked like Phil (?) had just discovered that a baby he thought was his, was someone elses? Doesn't mean much to me - but it might mean something to you!

Be under no illusion, the soaps shown on Foxtel are well behind the times......so my wife tells me. They are not current.
My wife got so fed up that she now only watches the Australian dramas (All Saints, Home & Away) and you don't really need FOXTEL for those. FOXTEL is good for kids channels, soccer and the odd lifestyle programme. Movies are no different than what was on SKY. You're better off getting the latest DVD from Blockbuster and EasyDVD as the socalled Box office movies shown have been out in rental for at least 6 months. These stores have cheap nights where a movie only costs a couple of dollars (under £1).
One good thing about Foxtel is that you can get cable broadband which is faster and slightly cheaper than ASDL.

Corrie 2/3 weeks ago Gail was marrying richard. Just cancelled our subscription, had it for over a year and most shows had been re run several times, and the episodes are very old like 90,s stuff.
It was great for BBC news but ended up thats all we used it for so now its gone. Think the basic package was $59 a month.
We've just found a video store that has $1 nights, its on tuesday tho but even new release DVD's.
Edit forgot to answer the first posters question Corrie was a different epsiode in the evening, then that episode played twice the next day.

In Coronation St Richard has killed his first wife and is now trying to make Audrey think she's going senile.
In Eastenders Phil has just found out Louise is he's baby and Zoe has returned from when she went running away after finding out Kat was her mum. I know i'm sad but i still watch them.
