Hi,
Hope I am posting this in the correct area,

I was wodnering if anyone knoew when TC will be adding Fox News and Alt TV to their line-up. I actually have no desire for these channels in particular, but I would be keen to know that in the future when channels I do want to watch are added (here's hoping at least) that I'll be able to get them. I asked TC about this in January and was informed that their server needed upgrading in order to be able to carry these channels.

I hope this is correct and they do bring in some new channels, like one's from Australia (comedy channel, Fox Classics etc). It would offer a point of difference from Sky too.

And yeah, I wish TEch TV would come back, though I heard it was awful once it merged with G4. I miss Call For Help. :(

As was I, but now I have an op to side with me, if they do decide to bring Fox (I hate that network), I hope they will charge people for it!

I do not see why I should have to pay for rubbish so that others can watch it. I agree that there is a lot of other "rubbish" on the TCL line up, but this is one which I feel I should be supporting, or anyone for that matter unless you actually want to sign up for it.

I do want Fox News purely for the ridiculous pro-Republican agenda it has, which makes it pure gold. Also worth watching Bill o'Reilly pretend to be balanced.

CNN and BBC are not far behind.
