Do not miss this fascinating documentary on Sunday night 10.50 on Sky Arts.

I watched it on Tuesday - a must see for movie fans.

Good film, interesting but a bit depressing. Saw it at a festival two years ago.

I believe its also available on DVD. I've forgotten, it was on my want-to-see list a few years ago. I'll have to rent a copy this week.

I've given up Sky and saved myself £36 a month.

I now have a Freesat TV which uses one half of the Astra dish LNB, the other half is still connected to my Sky tuner from which I can get over 100 channels for free.

Well done, Maurice. For many years as a TV dealer I steadfastly refused to do business with SKY, the biggest con artists in the book! Why anyone would want to spend large sums each month on being able to watch only one channel at a time has always escaped me. And if you want to add a second receiver and access a second channel at the same time as the first you pay yet again!
Thank God for the BBC/ITV consortium that provides FREE access to all public broadcasting channels (unlike SKY) from both Terrestrial and Satellite, as well as many others. The panic that Freesat has generated at SKY is already evident from their flurry of "Special Offers". Serves them B----- well right!!!!
