+1. Have never had a bike and no ambition to get one - but used to enjoy Henry Cole and his unusual style - became a bit of a fan and watched most of his stuff. Liked his two-parter on NZ - and he said some nice things about NZ and NZers.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Its gone. Ceased on 31 October. Replaced by Discovery Turbo.

Suggest travelchannel.co.uk.

It only gets 0.1% audience share in the UK - so, assuming NZ is the same, thats (at best) 4,500 viewers. Can understand that it doesnt justify the cost of a transponder.

But, strategically, this is a prime example of the rights that Sky should be retaining for its OnDemand. Those that want to watch the episodes on that channel, with near zero cost of carriage, can have it delivered to their box on demand. Why let it go on the eve of an upgrade that gives subscribers more flexibility?

"Coming" doesn't mean a timeframe!

Sky will have a far easier job launching more HD content by this time next year once they've shut down their existing MPEG2 streams after the STB replacement is complete and move everything to H.264

l43a2: but sir, they replaced it with TLC and Discovery turbo.

I remember when TLC was The Learning Channel until it was bought by Discovery and turned into another reality TV channel.

I've got zero interest in watching that tripe.

If i could choose to unsubscribe to it, I would...just out of spite.
