If you want to watch a load of repeats, then why on earth would you log on to the internet and download them? Just switch the TV on and save us all the bandwidth. BBC1,2, ITV and Channel 4 have outdone themselves this year, as my Sky planner has become a replication 3 days running, and at the same time I am being told to log on to the internet and download this tripe.

Thank god for the Red Dwarf repeats eh?....They are keeping me sane.

they are good for people who cant get the channels or miss the program (like me ),

but what me about them is they have to run at start up and the option to disable it did not work, and also the fact that they all have their own (i believe there was a news story about them making one )

There is no way on earth anyone who owns a TV can miss anything that is shown on BBC.  Take the last week for example, BBC 2 has shown 3 Men in Another Boat no less than 3 times (albeit at different times).  Ten years ago people were complaining that the BBC showed too many repeats (yearly!!!) they are surely taking the preverbial with the latest pile of drivel.

TV this Christmas has been rubbish beyond belief. I seem to be on UK Gold all the time watching Only Fools, Red Dwarf and Fawlty Towers. If we must watch repeats all the time....they may as well be decent ones!

I might take the HDD out of my Sky+ box and use it in my PC, it would get more use there!

A Little tip though, 2 gems out there....Curb Your Enthusiasm on More4 at about 1:00am on Sundays and King of Queens on Paramount every night at 5:00pm is brilliant!

King of Queens is great, and it's shown on the same channel that show Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker, Scrubs and Two And A Half Men. All fantastic programs. Lucky they're all repeats, or I might have missed them all
