*Sky ARTS 1 *

You ran well today, AG, before running out of steam, but nabbed a place.

Will have put me spot on for another peak performance in the Northumberland Plate kenny.

also did some shows recently on Led Zep and The Who, both brilliant

I tune in most nights Badger.

Seen the Led Zep one but not The Who.
The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac a couple of nights ago, seen it before but still interesting.
The Eagles doc was intriguing, often on in loop.
Sky Arts 1 by far my go to channel. Love it.

So much good stuff on there, recently had the cream farewell concert as well

Some excellent stuff on there.  Seen loads of interesting documentaries on bands - many mentioned above.

Tales of the Unexpected for a bit of nostalgia.

Very good Jack.

Inside the mind of Leonardo da Vinci - 1.30pm
Hendrix- The Uncut Story  - 3.0pm
Earth Wind & Fire - In Concert - 4.10pm
Gary Newman doc - 7pm
Pink Floyd/David Gilmore through the night.

That is just for today.

Just looking at the listings, it looks like you can also save yourself several hundred quid in ticket money if you like your Cirque du Soleil.

is Sky Arts only for aged Proggers then?

Think it's merging with Sky Arts 2

It is 'Merging' as Sky puts it. Like they're ding everyone a favour.
"One great new channel".
I hate Sky and its marketing spin on everything.

What they should say is, "We've suckered a few hundred new subscribers in with a second Arts channel and now we've got them we can cut costs by closing one down and maximising advertising revenues from the one that's left".

Basstards.

If that's the case I hope they cut down on the amount of Andre Rieu they put out 

It's SKY. Someone's gotta pay for all these improvements! They keep offering their customers new ways of improving their televisual lives.
I noticed that my set-up now offers 'box sets'. So, I thought I'd just see what was available. It turns out that you have to PAY for them!

Believe in better!

I cancelled sky sport yesterday as it's simply no value for money - the only live footy I watch is my own team, and those games can easily be streamed in high quality on line for free, as can at the races... so now I just have the basic HD package - which still includes sky arts - and saving about 30 quid a month
