Being a fan of games I was pleased last year when I got Sky and found .tv. My particular favourite was Gameover but with time I found myself watching more and more of their programmes facinated by the new technology on display.

DotTV is the technology channel on the BskyB service. The website (www.tvchannel.co.uk) is absolutely superb, after being totally re-designed a few months ago. The website offers sections, filled with useful and interesting articles, on the internet, games, reviews, news and the tv shows on .tvchannel. On the site there is also a massive knowledge section where there are hundreds of tutorials generally related to computers and software. Tutorials on the site include learning the basics of Microsoft Windows, learning Flash, using Microsoft Office, using graphical packages such as photoshop and paint shop pro, plus many more....
