When I come home from work and after the kids have gone to bed I love to unwind by watching the sci-fi channel. Sheer bliss. I have been into sci-fi for many years and the style of programming has just got better. I love Babylon 5. Now they are showing one of my fave programmes which I first saw on holiday, my wife has also become addicted to the channel and it takes alot to get her to drop her soaps. The schedules are great,good,wide variety of programmes covering every bit of the sci-fi arena. Pity they don't have Star Trek but never mind. I like watching the films and they occasionally play films I have not watched for years which is ...  Read the complete review
