So, some joker in programming at Sky has decided to move Alias to Sky One Mix as of next week.
What a way to lose half the audience!
A cracking show, just getting really interesting, and they move it to a backwater channel.
Great if you have Sky Digital, no use at all if you get Sky through cable.
I was going to buy the DVDs anyway when they're released, but now I have to wait for the Season 2 discs to see the rest of the series.
Obviously done to increase viewers for what is essentially a repeats channel, but a Very Bad Move in my opinion. There's no way in hell I'm switching to Sky Digital from NTL - we have TV, broadband and telephone from NTL, AND I can record terrestrial TV while watching Sky without needing to fork out an extortionate amound for Sky+ or a second installation (same thing as far as I know!)
So balls to you, Sky - and expect an e-mail of complaint very soon.

But if you're not a Sky Digital Customer then they won't care what your letter of complaint is ? If you could get all the channels on every network then there'd be no point in competing networks exisiting.
If you want all Sky has, then get Sky. Otherwise moaning is like me writing to Nintendo to complain I can't play a Vice City PS2 disc on the Gamecube i.e. stupid.

i can see your point, but it would invoke more emotion in me if the program in question wasn't mass produced garbage, like 99% of sky ones 'shows' at the moment.
the simpsons is the only thing watch on that channel

Ordinarily I would agree, but what I find out of order is that they are moving it mid-series. If they'd started it on Sky Mix, fair enough. But they've shown all of S1 one and half of S2 on Sky One. Now they suddenly want to move it.
Last I knew, a few months ago when a friend subscribed, there's a month or so waiting time for Sky Digital anyway - so even if I did decide to switch (which I'm not) chances are I still couldn't get it in time anyway!

I think everyone can condone piracy under these circumstances.
Damn Sky.
Damn Sky.
Why Sky, WHY? Is there any point in the move? Mid series and they move it. Will they be showing it on Sky later in the week though? Well atleast I can get a friend to tape it for me/
Think its being shown on Sky 1 on a Saturday. So you will still be able to see it, but 5 days later.
Thanks adrian. Will it be in place of Buffy on saturdays as that would make sense?
