I only had it installed again about two years ago, too, after not having any TV service for about four years (had dropped it for the very same reason). It seemed like a good idea to have it reinstalled at the time but it wasn't. After it was installed, I discovered I only watched the occasional movie on it and NONE of the regularly scheduled shows. One movie a month wasn't worth it and I was paying a small fortune for it in the end.

I truly don't miss it. What I do miss is watching shows on a big screen, so I have to work out how to view them on the flat screen TV when I get a chance. It's not a big issue, though. My laptop has a 17-inch screen anyway - decent size.

I have just been informed that we don't get ITV 3 on our package, but I am sure I get it on my iPad? I'll put that on my ironing "catchup list"
I have seen a couple of episodes of Vera and I really enjoyed them.

How is life treating you in Scarborough?

Oh, me me. I watched the last series, and it had a really rotten ending. Is there going to be another season?

Really liking Scarborough thanks, the green shoots are coming up in the garden now - anxious to see what we've got out there :starsmile:

Great. I am glad that your happy. We have a tiny little garden, even Alan Titchmarsh would have a challenge planning it. I don't what is in there, but I do know that it is over planted. I need to get a plan together, but I find it difficult to plan a garden.
