If you have Sky Digital.....you see watch any ITV region you want by tuning them in the ADD CHANNELS menu. Do a google search to find out how....

I thinkI'm one of the last people to still have analogue cable, I really need to get round to getting digital. That's great info that though, I'll remember it because this situation crops up a lot.

I can get transferedbut I think it'll cost me. They're slowly cancelling channels one at a time, the scifi channel being a particular loss, me being a geeky twat(thanks Jeff) an'all.
Great forum link hyperdog, going to have a look at that.

my dad refuses to go with sky cos he doesn't want our house to look like a bunch of pikies live hereand he dislikes sky and murdoch.
he's just resorting to sending shouty emails to telewest. it's especially annoying cos most of my mates live a couple of miles north and have had digitial since 2000.

you dont have to put the dish on the roof,a couple of mates live in the peaks, its a national park so they cant have visible dishes etc. they've stuck their dishes in the garden. as long as its got line of sight it works.

What was the thing with 70's films having depressing endings?

TrueEasy Rider(sixties, I know)and Vanishing Point both end in a rather downbeat way. Disallusionment with the American dream? Vietnam? I don't know enough about film theory but there's certainly a feel to early seventies movies. Save the Tiger with Jack Lemmon for example great film but...

easy rider has to be the most pointless film of all timeit's great, yes. and once it was making a statement about youth culture. but now it is a story about two guys who ride about for a bit, take drugs and get shot for no reason. it's not shakespeare, is it?

Needless to say, it was a media studies student who delivered it.

I know the feelingI studied film and you were hard pressed to find anyone with any actual love of movies. Ask them to give you a freudian analysis of Cassavettes or somebody and they'd chew your ear off though. Very boring.

I was never a big fanreally and it has dated badly, hippy shit and all that. It actually irritates me now, the pair of them do my head in with their nonsence. I really love Two-lane Blacktop and Vanishing point though, similiarly themed but more up my street.
