Newest Review: ... by channel 5. I'm not a huge fan of these dramas, as I think they are so drown out, but if you are the channel is full of them. However before of the variety of shows on, there's something for everyone. I particularly like the UK docu-dramas such as Road Wars & Street Wars. I also enjoyed the recent revivial of Gladiators, although this wasn't a patch on the original, it was good to have ... more

Premium Review Sky 1: Sky's flagship entertainment channel (214 words)

Sky 1 is Sky's flagship entertainment channel broadcasting 24 hours a day on Satellite & Cable. Satellite viewers can also take advantage of a high definition simulcast of the channel with a large amount of native HD material available. A large number of the high profiled american dramas such as Prison Break & Lost can be found here. These sorts of dramas always tend to air on terrestrial television first & if they prove to be popular Sky just buy it up, as was the case with their most recent acquistion House, previously shown by channel 5. I'm not a huge fan of these dramas, as I think they are so drown out, but if you are the channel is full of ...  Read the complete review

Sky One is the most recognisable channels that is associated with Sky, with its introduction when Sky first started broadcasting in the 1980s, and the channel came under the ownership of Sky as "Sky Channel" to what we know today as Sky One. Sky One or Sky1 has it has been recently rebranded, is Sky's main flagship entertainment that contains both home grown shows and US imports. Unknown to many Sky 1, in its many different forms is the fourth oldest channel in the United Kingdom, as Channel 4 arrived slightly later. Originally Sky was a free to air channel in the 1980s but has subsequently become a scrambled channel, meaning that that a person must ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sky 1: CHANNEL FOR LOST! (257 words)

Sky 1, usually one of the flagship chanels associated with Sky Television. This channel has been part of SKy nearly since they launched years ago and and although there is now Sky 2 and Sky 3, Sky 1 is the best in my view. There is always the new and in my view some of the best programmes on this channel. As of tomorrow Lost season 5 premiers. Sky 1 have had the rights to Lost and have them exclusively. Also they bought the rights to Prison Break a few series ago as well. Other big shows here are 24, Gladiators, The Simpsons and Are you smarter than a 10 year old. This channel runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is on channel 106 on Sky. There is ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved Sky One, and I end up watching it most nights as it has classic shows such as The Simpsons and Futurama. Recently there was a dispute between Virgin Media and Sky which resulted in Sky one being taken off of the list for Virgin channels, so for a while the only way to keep up with your favourite Sky one shows was to move over to Sky as a provider. This dispute has been resolved now and this means that more people are now able to watch this amazing channel. Sky One is part of the variety mix with Sky and comes along side other channels such as Sky 2, Sky 3, living tv, paramount comedy etc. the price for adding this mix on depends ...  Read the complete review

Just another Virgin customer to recieve Sky 1 in the last few months so why not give it a review eh? :D. I used to have Sky 1 on my old cable box a good 4 or 5 years when there were only 51 channels I could get. Back then the only reason I watched Sky 1 was for the Simpsons, there really was nothing else I enjoyed on the channel. But what can I say now... After getting Sky 1 back I can say with a smile on my face how much I missed it. One of the main reasons I missed it was the shows it has on in the evening, especially Prison Break. I used to watch this on a streaming site with constant buffering and driver problems so it was more a ...  Read the complete review
