When I was a kid we had lots of power cuts (bit like here really :D ) and we spent our tv-less evenings reading, playing games, talking to each other......
Nowadays all those pleasures still exist, as to other pastimes when tv is c**p - videos, dvds, the internet.

You cannot get UK Sky here via satellite dish :rolleyes: However, Foxtel Digital has more than 40 channels, try that if you really can't cope. :confused:

Maybe if you acually explained what it is you are looking for on TV we might get a better idea of what you want instead of just saying its all crap.
You say Brit TV has 400 channels... 400 channels of what?
