Sky have poached prison break

[tracey]

prison break will be moving to sky one, i feel really sorry for anyone who follows this and doesn't have sky.

Not happy about this news. I dont have Sky One so will have to wait for season 3 on DVD in about a years time probabaly.

Seems to me Sky will always win out....not only do they have the subrcription revenue..but they also have the advertising revenue coming in...greedy bastards...there I've said it

Quite right - I was spitting feathers when they snapped up 'Lost', and I'm damned if I'll fork out for Sky, just to keep up with one or two programmes. On the whole, Digital provides pretty much everything I want to watch, but this 'poaching' does piss me off, I admit.

[sallywebster]

Me too. I will have to wait until Prison Break season 3 is out on DVD now probabaly as im not paying for Sky.

It may end up on SKY3 I suppose.

[sallywebster]

But even that I dont get on Virgin Media.

It's a bit unfair on the fans, losing one of their favourite programmes just because of Sky One's greed.

Is there any chance soon that Virgin will be getting SKY 1 and SKY 2 ??

[sallywebster]

I doubt it. They used to be on there when it was NTL but took them off as they couldnt come to an agreement with Sky or something.

The two companies (Sky and Virgin) had some big disagreement a while back didn't they? Virgin One (the new Virgin channel) might be showing on Sky Digital but I don't think the reverse will happen.
