I got Telewest when we moved to a building that claims to be too posh
for satellite dishes to be permitted.  They refused to offer me a TV
only package, (I had free ADSL through work on a BT line).  Shortly
after they started offering new subscribers the option of not having
the phoneline, which I was quite annoyed about.  Then E4 went on to
freeview, which was one of the only reasons we'd got cable.  Now
skyone, the only other reason I had cable has been dropped!  I am
_extremely_ angry.

My wife and I like all the US drama/scifi, Lost, SG1, Prison Break,
Desparate Housewives, The Unit, 24, Atlantis, etc ...  We're seriously
considering moving house to somewhere that will permit a satellite
dish.  At the moment we're a few weeks behind on TiVo anyway, so we've
not even hit the cut off point.  I guess I'll have to setup MythTV
box and usb freeview adaptor on my PS3.
