If you have Virgin Media you can get it all through that. But you have to pay over £120 to Setanta for a years subscription. Then whatever you pay for Sky Sports on top.

Since it was £50 for a season ticket for Sky you're now going to have to pay an extra £70 to get the same amount of matches.

Of course I think you get the SPL games with that. So erm yeah that makes it all worthwhile doesn't it?

You're quids in if you're an old firm fan I suppose.

why do you love sky news?

Because it's the best news station. And unlike anything else owned by fox it's unbiased politically.

haha I forgot to watch the Simpsons. Oh well I will see it tomorrow.

I already own tonight's episodes on DVD! boo. But last night I saw Treehouse of Horror XIX, which was a directionless mess that didn't remotely resemble any era of The Simpsons I know (and it hasn't been that long since I was occasionally seeing new episodes, only a couple of years).

Sky Arts, which I've never seen before, looks like it could satisfy some of my BBC 4ish middle brow hankerings. But overall I don't think these new channels at my disposal does too much for me trying to find something to watch at 4am.

Yeah, I have seen all of the ones shown tonight. Bloody typical!!

six months pass...

I don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but Virgin Media currently have a deal where if you sign up and pick their "XL" TV package you can get a V+ (like Sky+ only for Virgin) for only £50 rather than the usual £100; and when I spoke to them today they eventually admitted that if I wanted to I could cancel the XL package and go back down to "L" without any recourse, thus instantly saving me £50 and not being saddled with paying more for a bunch of shitty channels I don't care about. Dude seemed genuinely amazed that nobody had mentioned it before...
