Any of you lot with Cable for TV?

Apparently the sky channels (Sky News, Sky One, Sky Sports News) have been pulled today.

I do not have cable. Do not watch much TV at all atm, to be honest. Well, not on the TV anyway.

Is this a big issue?

No more Simpsons?

[b][color=indigo]No. I'm sure everyone will get over it really quickly or find an alternative if they're really desperate.[/color][/b]

It'll only be a problem for the simpson fans.. and if they're THAT desperate, they can watch something like family guy instead :shock:

That is safe.

Sky sports/movie is a monopoly and the monopoly commission has decided that it must be made available through other means than through sattelite.

So it will continue.

are you sure??? I know Sky Movies will stay but my brother said Sky Sports is gone too.

Sky sports news is gone.

Sky sports is safe.

What has gone is Skyone, Sky two, Sky spts News, Sky news, Sky travel and one more. probably sky three if they had it.

Sky Movies and Sky Sports are covererd under monopoly rules where they have to continue supplying them.

Besides they are under different contracts.
