I hate SKY TV
Where do I start?
I have been getting well pissed off with Sky recently.
We pay a load of money for the service and what do we get?
Well I get a load of annoying shit from it tell you the truth.
Here are my 3 top annoyances from it (at the moment):
1) 15 minutes of bloody adverts in a 30 minute programme for a start!
Well it might not be 15 minutes but it's not that far off. I was watching something the other day and it was on for 2 minutes (if that) and it went on to adverts! 2 minutes!
I reckon I could go and have a shower when the adverts come on and actually get back downstairs before the program starts again!
2) Level of sound really annoys me too. I have a "Slight :-)" hearing problem, so I tend to have the volume up a little higher than most people. As soon as the adverts come on, I have to reach for my mute button because the volume nearly doubles! It gives me a bleedin' heart attack sometimes.
3) Signal on some channels is awful. Ok maybe something to do with whoever fitted the dish. I'm sure I was only allowed to have it fitted by somebody who is verified by Sky anyway. The really annoying thing is that it seems to be on the only channels I want to watch. I can't stand normal TV, as in soaps and all that shit, but all of the Discovery channels seem to be messed up big time.
I'm going to have a G&T and de-stress I think.
And to think I was being talked into getting Sky Plus!
I need a Dog.

Sky+ would solve a number of your issues: you can fast forward past the adverts :-)
The signal thing is something that's been annoying my folks for a while and the "qualified" sky guy checked the alignment and fitting and declared it perfectly ok.

I take it you can only fast forward past the adverts if you are watching after it has aired? So you still have to watch all the damned things if you are watching it at the normal time.
