"Lost to SkyOne"

guh?

But the good news season 3 will be starting in November:D

Does anyone know what times and which days they'll be playing it yet? Perhaps, also, a date for the big kick-off?

It's no extra hassle for me as I used to switch to Sky for Channel 4 anyway. I could watch it on S4C (don't even live in Wales...) but they always make you wait an extra day and then show it running through and past midnight! Some weeks, during season two, they skipped it all together! :P

At least Sky have some consistency. And are we also likely to have the rediculous ad-break IMMEDIATLY after the title screen?! :P

The best channel for that (on Digital) has to be ABC1. Home Improvement, 8 Simple Rules, whatever show you watch, it's the same - show's just started - time for LOOOONG break! And then, another one, five minutes before the end - just like Buffy...

Good news for me. Sky tend to show things about three times a week, giving me more of a chance to catch it.

Plus they don't (often) go shifting things for the snooker, last night of the proms, or any other stuff the BBC likes to show. Because when 24 was on BBC2 they often had a break of a couple of weeks. Sky were good enough to put 24 on multi-start for the last few weeks so as not to clash with any of the World Cup football.

Never had a problem with Lost on C4 though, apart from the rubbish sponsor 118 bits and long ad breaks - but that'll be the same on Sky anyway.

Mind you, the Sunday repeat on E4 was really handy, and the time I'd watch most often.

Excellent, phew, you had me scared for a little bit then :)

No, you're right. C4 will be showing it later.

Did they do that when 24 was stolen from BBC?

From my understanding, it will still be shown on Channel 4, when they were intending to show it...

It's just that Sky have nipped in and will be showing it earlier.

I could be wrong though...

Seriously? So it won't be on C4 anymore? Argg I can't be doing with downloading every single episode.

Dont agree with this, alot of older people who have been following lost usually just have the 5 channels. And i think its a shame for them to have to pay for something they've been watching for ages. Joke to be honest but Sky One will be laughing.

Fine by me! I can't get terrestrial (in a very watchable format) because of pesky signals, so I had no choice but to get Sky. Works well, too.
